I guess we need to define what the word "resolution" means. Bit depth does more than just provide the ultimate dynamic range theoretically possible. Bit depth also affects amplitude resolution (there's that "R" word again). How many times has Bruce stated on this forum that he finds bit depth more important than sampling frequency? But then, I'm sure all of the armchair digital cowboys know more than a mastering engineer when it comes to how insignificant bit depth is to the overall sound of digital.
