I noticed that, and it puzzled me. How does the inclusion of film contribute
in any way to answering the question that motivated the exercise? Which, I
believe, was "Do you need more than 12 megapixels in a full-frame digital
sensor?"

An indirect relationship to be sure, but if somebody submitted such the
comparison could be of interest. A 4000 dpi scan of a 35mm frame is
about 21.5 Mpix. So comparable in pixel count.
