It's like the old enlargement of film negatives. Even if you stay
within
the parameters of visible resolution of the negative (you don't
enlarge
beyond the point where resolution increases stop being seen on the
paper)
the quality on enlargement seems to continually decline.


They will only be "intangibles" based on the lack of a objective
measure of whatever it is that might make it subjectively better.
Bokeh is an example.
Another fact is that image quality "faults", typically but probably
not limited to coma, sa, and particularly vignetting often
subjectively improve images. That's my firm opinion, and if you don't
like it, then in my opinion you're completely wrong.
Measurebating is a fail, but it's part of the human condition,
apparently.

...and if you are astigmatic and your glasses aren't quite straight on
your nose...

...your wife might look perfect with the lights on.

Unfortunately my wife has been dead for 4 years now.

That's a conversation stopper.
I'm sorry to hear that.

When the conversation starts going in that direction it isn't easy for
me to find much humor in the reference regardless of the intent.

In better days when she was still healthy.
