If you take two
identical photos under perfect conditions, one with top 35 mm film,
and the other with a good FF DSLR, the prints should be of equal
quality before any processing is done. I don't think anyone would
argue with that.

i would.

if the same photographer takes two photos of the same subject, same
lighting, same lens, same exposure, etc., one with a film camera and
one with an full frame digital slr, the digital camera will always be
able to produce a higher quality result.

Let me rephrase that: What do YOU mean by quality?

digital surpasses film in every metric, including resolution, dynamic
range and colour accuracy. no matter what film can do, digital can
exceed it or match the 'film look'.
