I didn't say that either.
I'm forced to conclude you know your position to be very weak.
In fact I quite often shoot in very demanding conditions where my
compact digital super-zoom easily outperforms dSLRs (and have
the evidence to prove it).

Then you should choose the right tool for that job, and be willing to
pay the inevitable price (not just money). Just don't presume your
choice is right for anyone else than you.

David is correct. The Sunny 16 rule is not violated.
More photons do indeed get in because the entrance pupil is larger.

More light means the exposure time has to be shorter.

Not so. Read the references more carefully.
