Not really, the measurements quantify what you can expect in actual use. Been waiting for that, so let me ask you this: If you buy good lenses, do you think they are 10% better in terms of sharpness than a cheaper lens? 20%? (Do you know?) So would you willingly give up that 10% by shooting at a smaller aperture than necessary for the DOF you need? So here are 4 actual measurements of the acuity of lenses vs aperture. Hard to argue with the numbers. For me, I want every bit of sharpness I paid for, but to each, their own. If you want to ignore the effect of diffraction or deny it exists, then it’s your choice, but I’m keeping this in mind when I make the inevitable trade offs when I choose SS, Aperture and ISO. That “DLA” line is diffraction limited aperture.

Nice charts.
