And how many would want it from a HD video cam at about 2 million pixels?
Or a noisy soft lensed over processed point and shoot?
You really dont need to answer...

Some dont get it because they havent seen or understood the difference or 
seen the difference in a large print.
However the difference is rather obvious when you do.

You cant upscale a 2 million pixel movie camera shot to even 16 x 20
however 
you try, even if that shot was somehow not overprocessed, and was
correctly 
exposed and focussed. Which is very unlikely! The reason good DSLR lenses 
are expensive is bacause they can do this. The reason the sensors are
bigger 
is the same. The "control" allowed is also important to allow the 
photographer the chance to "get" these shots. And often at high ISO. That 
requires some real artistic skill thats beyond me though!
