I didn't think so.  I thought it was a reasonable response to what you 
viewed as a preposterous claim.  And my response to you was serious, but 
not to make you feel bad.  I think it would be fun!

I just don't know how to compare the two cameras on the basis in which it 
was suggested.  RAW files Photoshoped or rendered by the manufacturers 
software?  16x20 prints or 8x10?  I think you'd probably have to allow 
interpolation to get a comparable size for print purposes if you want to 
compare big prints, and interpolation certainly can't improve the E-1 
capture, but then there are lots of technical/artisan decisions about 
saturation, sharpening blah blah blah.  Tough to level the playing field 
for such a comparison, which makes me wonder how much thought Puts really 
put into his statement.
