Digital BW, The Print

Not that I agree with the whole of his argument, but I belive what Anthony 
is trying to explain is this:

I give you an RGB value, say.. 0,0,120 .. nice and medium blue.

Can you draw the original spectral input to the imaging site?  Was it a 
very bright blue at the bottom end of the film's blue response or a 
moderately bright blue just above that?

Read:  the process of binning is not reversible.

It seems to me that we need to clear up the language that we are using. 
There are a lot of technical terms being thrown around in non-technical 
ways, only confusing the issue.  We would also do well to get rid of the 
argumentative language and personal jabs.
