Digital BW, The Print

I must be missing something here. Scanning from a print rather than a
neg?
Wayne Fulton (www.scantips.com <http://www.scantips.com/> ) does a
fairly extensive section to show that scanning a (color) print at
greater than 200 spi doesn't gain anything (other than file size.)
Granted, the Epson folks are talking about scanning a BW print but I
cannot imagine that a better result is obtained from a print, rather
than a neg scan. Any thoughts here?

FWIW....When I took the Epson Print Academy workshop they recommended 
scanning b/w from a good print rather than from a b/w neg.
