(sorry for the late reply) What you're saying is not strictly false, but it's also not very useful for practical photography. High grade "practical" color film (ektar 100, provia 100f, velvia 50), shot extremely carefully with a vacuum back and drum scanned wet will out-resolve high end 35mm digital but lose against modern medium format digital backs; 6x7 or 6x9 with extremely good lenses (mamiya 7 system, alpas) might beat last-gen digital backs in some scenarios. Impractical 3 iso bw microfilm copy film stock (techpan, chs 20) used to shot something standing extremely still with an adapted photolithography lens might win against medium format backs, except if you need color, but at that point you're actually competing against scanning backs for reproduction work and the scanning back is going to prevail.
