> "the idea that absolute fidelity to some Platonic ideal of an image is an end in and of itself is purest bafflegab"

Particularly in artistic media, where emotion and tone are regularly conveyed through distortions.

48/60p may be great for some projects. Their technical advantages may enable shots that simply can't be done well at 24fps. But even that does not make them inherently "better". Merely the right tool for a given job.

As there's no technological requirement for us to use either one format or the other, I see absolutely no reason we can't go forward allowing people to choose technology on an as-appropriate basis without slandering particular choices as illegitimate in all cases.
