I may be totally wrong, but isn't there something like "resolution" on
the density scale too? Which means that the neg with a high DR would
have a better value-separation than the flat one, and thus would
transmit more and better quality information to the positive material?

Interesting thread. I'm glad conventional silver photography is little
by little moving into the "alt" domain. Allows for less list-hopping :-)
