LOL. The point is that when you know that you are shooting FF you can look at the output and say, "ahhhh...." and it gives you the warm fuzzy about FF. Or it makes you nostalgic for the days of film or it helps justify the bulk and cost of a FF dSLR.
But that warm fuzzy goes away pretty quickly when faced with a blind test.
We spend a bunch of time here discussing brands and sensor sizes and whatnot, showing examples of superiority/inferiority and placing ourselves on the sides of arguments that support and reinforce our own decisions and biases.
At the end of the day though, few if any of us would be able to distinguish between brands and sensor sizes by just looking at the final product.
I get caught up in it as much as the next guy. It's just funny.

Hey, I resemble that! :lol:
This didn't start out as a FF vs APS-C debate, but judging from the last 10 posts it sure sounds like it is veering in that direction.
I started with film and just recently ran a couple of rolls through my trusty MX/50mm F1.7 and an Olympus XA. I know full well the difference between the two. It's there, but I challenge anyone to take a look at a collection of random photos and be able to identify which ones came from FF and which ones came from APS-C. For example:
List of winners 2010 - World Press Photo
BBC - Earth News - European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010
Can anyone here point to any particular photo and say that it is FF?
And to bring it back to the OP, can anyone look at any of the above photos and say, "That's clearly a Nikon, that's clearly a Canon, etc..."??? If you can't, than it's pretty clear to me that the eye looking through the viewfinder is much much more important than the brand on the pentaprism...

Oh noes, another post veering off into APS-C vs. FF!!!!!
I must try to save it...
Let's flip the question upside down and see if it makes sense - can you name a Nikon or Canon pro that would not be able to be a pro photographer if they shot with Pentax instead?
