Digital BW, The Print

In reading an article containing the thoughts of Jon Cone it was mentioned
that while matte papers excel in their ability to reproduce tones and depth,
none of the non-matte papers receive the ink as well and do not have the
same quality. Previously, I had thought that the opposite was true, and that
matte papers wouldn't have the depth and tonal range and depth. Do I need to
reverse my understanding? In having to choose between inks and papers to
achieve depth and tone, are the matte papers superior?
