Digital BW, The Print

I know they can be excellent, but can anyone tell me why you wouldn't
get far 
better detail if you scanned a negative with about 10 times the detail
of the print?

I have scanned excellent 8x10 prints and made digital prints same size
from the scan,
and if anything the digital print was even better than the original for
detail, sharpness, and tone. This SHOULD NOT be the case, but it is.

They are scanned fron good prints to begin with, tho.  I would challenge anyone to pick one of these prints as scanned from a print rather than one printed from a scanned neg.  I can't imagine any more detail.
