So you're saying that an array of four (GRGB) sites, sensitive to a specific wavelength and simply discarding the remaining data, will resolve exactly the same detail, as an array of four sites that collect 100% of light, right? Even if a high-contrast transition (let's say, between a red object and a blue sky) falls on a green pixel and the "edge" gets interpolated? Sorry, but it's completely against my understanding of how the interpolation works and unless you could provide some link to back you up, I find your claims completely unfounded.

Of course you can think of very specific examples where you get a lower detail resolution. We are not talking about that, now are we? No, we are talking about detail in general. The point is (was): The main "advantage" of the foveon sensors (other than theoretical more precise colour infor per pixel) is that Sigma chooses not to use AA-filters, which makes them seemingly more sharp (but that sharpness is mostly fake detail, aliasing).
Don't make a caricature of things.
