Resolution is a function of aperture.




Not true. The quality of optics do impact resolution - whether you want to discuss angular resolution or resolving power does not matter. Also you can optimize a system for contrast (accutance) or resolution, but not both at the same time. So aperture by itself is only the theoretical guide (and an old one at that). It will not give the actual resolution of an optical system.
