That's a problem with MIDI-the-standard, not MIDI-the-idea. In the 1.x standard, it's not just a simplistic definition; the "known workaround" (pitch bend) for when you actually need to express this difference in a played note, is global per instrument. But it's nothing that can't be fixed with a protocol that follows the same principles, but has a richer data model (like OSC).

This, absolutely this. And it also doesn't mean we shouldn't be getting better cameras.
