This same argument has been made forever in photography too. There's no hope for "accuracy". Even if you ignore the obvious facts like 2-dimensional representation and tiny form, even just the light itself is something that is at best interpreted artistically by the photographer.

Good photography is about producing a piece of art which represents and evokes a scene the photographer saw. Film is a tool for doing that and the entire process surrounding it influences the choices the photographer/developer/printer makes in their interpretation of the scene. Digital is just another tool and has it's own downsides (its own "loudness war" for that matter, too).
