I'm reminded of Shel's amusing tale about how he posted a shot or two taken with his SMC or Super-Multi-Coated 50/1.4 to the Leica user group and several members remarked how "only a Leica" could have produced such marvelous contrast and sharpness. There's nothing like a blind comparison to bring out the truth. That's not to say I can't distinguish gross differences, or differences in coloration. There's no getting around differences in distortion. And some lenses have more "bite." Perhaps the distinction is more fair when we confine the subject to resolution and limit our statement to the following: Unless you use low-speed film and a tripod or high shutter speed, resolution is wasted.
