To be a stickler,
1) You will note in my extremely simplified analysis of the info & comm
theory of images I did clearly state that we were enlarging both images to
16X20.
2) It is called large format because the film is.larger. In this case
larger IS better because it needs less enlargement to produce images of any
given size.
3) Unless you want to compare oranges and apples, one must compare final
prints of the same size.
4) Using your example, the 8X10 neg printed onto an 8X10 print would
still have much more subtle tonality than the 35 mm printed as an 8X10.

To be a stickler, I don't think that that large format inherently means
smaller grain, better tonality....unless you add the proviso 'at a given
size print.' It's not LF per se that's better. Rather, it's that usually
one enlarges LF less. A contact print from 35mm will be just as
fine-grained, detailed, and with the same tonality as an 8x10 contact print.
