Se are not quite yet hitting the ceiling on sensor tech, and I was talking about things like dynamic range and colour fidelity.
If you shoot a lot of low light, then larger cell size may be a factor. However if you print large, more pixels will probably be more useful. Depends on what you are doing, so yeah there is no such thing as "all else being equal"
Of course it all depends on your output as well. I routinely print at 20"x30" or larger, so printing at 200 dpi means I need 24mp.
If you are just viewing on screen, then 4mp is plenty...
And of course if you are using a higher resolution sensor, you need good glass, good technique, etc.
No, I understand the technology and photography very well.
I also know that the number of pixels on a sensor is one of the important characteristics, along with dynamic range, sensitivity, fidelity,and a whole host of other criteria that make one sensor/camera more versatile than another.
I understand what you are saying, yes the quality of pixels matters (Dynamic range etc) however, all else being equal*, I would go for 24mp over 16mp
*All else is rarely equal, especially if you include price, weight and other non image characteristics.
I love windows 8, it forced me to buy a macbook pro.
In a way you are right, but there is a lot of difference between a camera and a light meter.
Speaking as a photographer...
Not really a single pixel camera, more of a single pixel light absorption meter taken over an area...
I fart in your general direction.

Living close to Nanaimo, I have had real Nanaimo bars. yes they are sweet, but no more so than any other dessert bar, and they have never made me sick....
Kit-Kats or Lollipops on the other hand, especially shortly after Halloween....
But, but, it is only terrorism if you are on the receiving end. If you are dishing it out it is justified.
