In some types of photography sharpness and resolution play a pretty important role in the overall mix. Priorities aren't always the same. Depends on the objective.

I shoot almost 100% of my black and white on Tri-X in 35mm or 120 because I like the look of the film and I like to be able to hand hold pictures most of the time. The bottom line is, if you get a good photo, you are never "wasting" your equipment. Resolution and sharpness, IMHO, is a relatively minor aspect of picture "quality."
