The issues about resolution degradation that Derrel mentioned apply to film just as much as digital. Bear in mind that many films have a resolution of over 100 lp/mm, and some have a resolution of over 200 lp/mm. The really high resolution films like Tech Pan did show up the flaws in your equipment and technique. Equally well, the graininess of pushed High Speed Ektachrome, Scotch 640T or even relatively recent film like Ektachrome 320T would hide a lot of flaws.
Though not every situation benefits from high resolution, that doesn't mean that it is entirely useless - why would we shoot medium and large format if we didn't need high resolution (in terms of lp/picture height) images?
Referring to Derrel's post about making coffee - there would usually be a list of everyone's preference for coffee and tea pinned to the wall in the lab. It is surprising how many people liked Dektol in their coffee. I preferred PQ Universal. Meanwhile, the subject of how to develop Tri-X that had been exposed at EI 1600 was a very hot topic, with stand development in 1+3 D-76 for 90 minutes being quite popular.
