The difference in how I use the terms is that resolution can be calculated or observed while acutance can only be observed.

Neither is necessarily "theoretical", but anything calculated can be theoretical depending upon the premises of the calculations. >>>>Can we milk this for a new pun thread??? >>>I think that would be udder nonsense. >>Whey too much. >It's one way to stay a breast of these things.
