Jonathan,
You might check out the Wilhelm website for the oxymorons at:

Regarding Digital vs Film, I think it's a matter of what you enjoy doing. I
am interested in all of it, but might not have the patience for some or the
skills or the interest.
Recently while on vacation in South Carolina I had the pleasure to meet to
wonderful, gracious people—Sandy King and Sam Wang. I loved seeing their
work. Sandy was even nice enough to demonstrate the art of making a carbon
print. It was fantastic to see it done. I am glad there are artists like
Sandy in this world that will invest the time to make a beautiful print like
that.
On the other hand, I can also appreciate a print made with a digital
negative. I can also appreciate the difficulties involved with trying to
find a service that understands their equipment well enough to help me end up
with the best digital negative possible—they don't always know the
capabilities of their equipment!
I imagine I will end up eventually with hybrid system involving standard
film--->digital negatives---->Alt Print.... especially if I can get hold of a
Photoshop plugin for that Pyro stain.....just kidding. Anyway, I enjoy the
diversity and love seeing the results of a variety of methods.
