According to me there is only one thing worthwhile to understand about diffraction: For a given sensor size, diffraction softening at a certain f-value is always the same, no matter what pixel density.

Of course the amount of softening is the same no matter the pixel density, but how this given amount of diffraction affects your ability to exploit the sensor's resolution is absolutely not the same.
