Pixel shift cannot replace being there at the right time.

Very true!

And just as true is that being there at the right time can't replace pixelshift. Both the scene and the gear are essential prerequisites for a great image.

There's a lot of things in photography that are very rarely needed such as 1/8000 shutter speed, f/1.4 aperture, ISO 51200, or pixelshift. But when they are needed, they make a big difference.

To me, almost all landscapes images look better in higher resolution. I like to see every snowflake, every hair on every leaf, every grain in every rock, etc. It's not that low res is bad but higher res is better.
