Well, he may be right but it really doesnt matter.

Countless photographers have closed down their darkroom and except for
a few, are never ever going back to traditional b&w printing.

Digital B&W printing has come a long way in the past 4-5 years and
progress is still being made. But there's room for both system and its
photography's gain.
