Us film camera lovers know that digital is inferior when it comes to edges and dynamic range and such. Sure printers print in a series of dots these days, but we don't let that stop us.

This sort of example doesn't tell us as much about the intrinsic properties of film and digital as it does the difference in the photographer's or photographers' skills and resources when it comes to an all digital workflow vs a hybrid film/digital workflow.

It shows me that Scotty and his friend appear to be quite competent with either.

You sir are wrong. Both were shot on location. One shot is not a portable cam taking a picture of a film picture.
P.S. I don't believe I'm competent either.

I think you missed what he said (or I'm misunderstanding what you said). He is right. If you are saying one is a film photo and the other is a dslr photo, the dslr is the portable and the film photo is taken with I non portable. Non portable being the scanner. We are looking at a 2nd generation digital image of a 1st generation image made on film. Technically they are both digital images.
This shows that the Canon 1D Mark II has a much higher dynamic range than either Fujichrome Velvia slide film and Kodak Gold 200 print film. Kodak Gold 200, in this test, showed 7 stops of information, Fujichrome Velvia 5 stops, and the Canon 1D Mark II, over 10 stops of information! Further image analysis shows at least 10.6 stops are recorded by the canon 1D Mark II camera (the full range of of detail in this image, Other testing of the noise level versus intensity shows the Canon 1D Mark II has 11.7 stops of dynamic range.
