Anthony... I'm trying to grasp your premiss.

On practical terms how would the resulting images be Inferior? What 
would they be lacking? Would anyone but the photographer say " wow.. 
these are inferior photographs and must have been made with a digital 
camera or on color film and converted to B&W rather than shot on B&W 
film" ?
