Digital BW, The Print

I just don't understand the need to try and exactly duplicate the  
look of a silver print with inkjet. Yes, inkjet prints on matte  
papers have their own unique look, what is wrong with it? What if all  
through out the history of photography the main concern was to make  
all new technology look just like the old technology, where would we be?
