I find it hard to believe that the image quality comparisons, between

That's like saying that the design of an ATSC receiver chip has
nothing to do with the ability to receive DTV broadcasts reliably
Bert. I agree that it has nothing to do with the disc format, but the
player implementation is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak.
The important part of the article is that the quality differences
between Hollywood content delivered on SD-DVD versus EITHER HD disc
format are not sufficient to drive a mass migration to the new
standard.
That is, unless the price of players and software come down to SD-DVD
levels, Blu-Ray will exist primarily as a videophile format for
people who like to collect DVDs.
