To start with, he's comparing the scanners capabilities to the direct digital capture more than the actual image on the film. I think I could easily skew a test into the 6x7 column by shooting a nice fine ISO 100 B&W film and printing in a darkroom say an 11x14 print on a good paper with a nice Rodenstock lens @ say f8.0 and comparing it to a B&W conversion of the 1Ds output printed on say an Epson 2200. I'm betting the Wet print wins hands down, for detail at least. You can say it's not a fair comparison, but neither is his test. I'm not talking religion here either.
