Digital vs Film (pseudo) controversy

Somewhat recently I read an article about the legitimacy of digital photography vs film.  The conclusion reached early on in the article was that darkroom processing has always been essential to reveal the emotional response that provoked the image to be captured in the first place, and that it is simply irrelevant whether the darkroom processing involves papers, chemicals, lights, etc. or is digital.

I looked through the posts in this board but didn't find it, but it may have been something I saw at Digital Photography School or some other site.  If this rings a bell I would appreciate a lead; thanks!
