What sort of literature was it?

Sales blurb for a scanner perhaps? :-)

Like all big companies, Kodak probably has a multitude of opinions depending 
upon who is expressing it.

My take on the issue is to look at what the end-product is. If all you are 
doing is devoting a multitude of pixels to reproducing the film grain, then 
what's the point? 

If on the other hand someone can show real detail being resolved in a 
100Mpixel scan compared to a 20Mpixel one, then I'm listening.

I'm inclined to doubt it though because the real resolution of 35mm lenses 
simply doesn't match that high a figure.
