Last but not least, even though one cannot follow up to that resolving power, it will leave a trace on the signature of the lens.

Pistach,
it is not really important for me, but your last remark earns an answer I'd say.
Which perceivable tracks a not perceivable resolution might leave , I don't care. It wasn't the issue either !
Fact is tho, that to make 400 lpmm perceivable, you would need a print from a 35mm neg which should be about ten feet wide. And don't forget: From a half tone neg !
I don't like scientific discussions either in photography, but when it comes to a discussion about the meaning of a test result like the above mentioned ,then this IS a scientific discussion, all Voodoo does not help.
so, if this now turns into discussing which tracks are left by things we cannot perceive, sorry, not my cup of tea. Reminds me a bit to some HiFi freaks I know, who frankly admit that a human ear cannot perceive more than 20.000 Hertz, nonetheless they do not hesitate to embarrass themselves by claiming, music played from a system which achieves 25.000 Hertz would sound better. It is simply incredible what stuff people are willing to believe if they WANT to blieve it from what reason ever.
That's it for me so far , I am going back to photography and to my cheap lenses, which are still better than my eyes tho. Ahh, and good luck with the 10ft enlargments of the halftone portraits!
Sorry, that was naughty, but not serious , couldn't resist !
