Mike, you do talk rubbish at times. :-) The grain is NOT the
photograph, in any practical sense. If it were, why would film
manufacturers seek to reduce grain?
To change certain aspects of the photograph. What is it made of, if not
the grain?

There's a contradiction in that last sentence.
How so? Please explain.
I'm interested in seeing the photograph, not the grain.

The grain is the photograph. Therefore, anything that improves the
grain image improves the picture quality.
Hair splitting, I know, but I freely admit to being a pedant
