For example it is impossible for a sensor to have the exact same image quality at 50 and 800 iso setting

That's my point exactly. It is impossible, the same way a digital SLR would've been considered impossible in 1950

That's what I mean by re-inventing. Coming up with new technologies, coming up with new ways of creating photographic devices. The megapixel and the ISO race is ​not ​technological innovation any more than having a computer with 8GB RAM instead of 512kb

EDIT 1:I know what you'll say, that 8GB lets you do stuff 512kb doesn't. Well, my Photoshop CS2 lets me do all the stuff I need with my Photography, and it doesn't require 8GB to run. It's a witch's circle, a catch-22. The more RAM available, the more RAM programs require to run, and the more RAM programs require to run, the more RAM has to become available...

EDIT 2: Like someone said, would 600.000-something ISO be enough? Or will we suddenly discover we need 1 million?
