Paul,
But you are making the false assumption that film information is arranged in a
grid fashion similar to pixels.   I maintain, (and have had it confirmed by
others, more technically accomplished than I) that to reproduce the the random
information on film (made up of irregularly shaped grains) it takes a lot more
pixels to express that information.   Think about it.
