Using dynamic range in a "gross" (meaning not scientifically determined, but
purely visual) sense, I find dynamic range very important in comparing
prints.  In a very scientific sense, it is obviously useful for system
analysis.

Yes, but I really don't believe it's infinitely variable.  I believe the
variability (if it even exists) can easily be characterized.
