This is a silly debate. Of course they care about those things. I think
what Herb was trying to say is that much of his work, those things his
editors will buy, are static. But his main point was just that it's
quite easy to do multiple layers to achieve amazing latitude with
digital and RAW.

the difference is that it works for situations that people care about
and
that it is far too time-consuming to even consider using with film.

What you're doing does not mean that digital has 15 stops of
latitude.
You are combining several exposures to give an effective range of
fifteen
stops. A big difference. Plus, the technique is practically
worthless
for
many types of photography, such as when there's subject movement,
like
in
a
portrait where the subject's facial expression may change slightly
with
each exposure, or while photographing sports, or "street
photography,"
or
... well, I'll let the reader fill in the blanks. At least you
qualified
your comment somewhat <LOL>
