Well, I don't think that's quite right... with good lenses at a sharp
aperture and careful technique, I think you can make use of the sensor
resolution and achieve high detail. But to provoke moire, you need a
pattern with just the right spatial frequency in the same part of the
image where you're achieving that sharpness. I think it's the
combination of those two factors that makes it so rare in practice,
rather than it just being a matter of the sensor always over-resolving
the optics.
