Digital BW, The Print

Provia, nor any other chrome, has the exposure latitude of B&W, so it's
really not an issue, is it?

What I don't get --since this thread has progressed into the PLI-- is why
the worry, worry about getting such fine grain --then scanning B&W?  If
you're making it digital, why not shoot it digital?

When I shoot B&W film, it's for darkroom prints.
