You're avoiding the question.  Because they are not discernable to YOU does
not mean they are not discernable.  There are also prints that exist that
have a number of tones that we can differentiate.  How do you "describe" the
difference in number of tones?  NOT with density range...but how?

You've also shifted the discussion from your original claim, and are now
saying dynamic range isn't relevant because we can't see it.  The
interesting part is, you don't know that we can't see it, and you can't make
the claim that we can't see it in EVERY image printed, now can you?
