Dickbo,

You missed the point.  I know what density range and dynamic range are
perfectly well, and how they are arrived at and what they "describe".  My
response was about number of data points.  Saying that density range
"describes" the two end points was merely to point out that only the two end
points are used to arrive at density range, and no intermediate data points
are at all relevant to density range.  As has been discussed, dynamic range
requires addition information beyond the two end points.
