Couldn’t one look at resolution directly to see if resolution was superior?

Yes, but the compression ratio measure is easier as a crude measure.

A reasonable metric and much less vague than "resolution" ...

If Canons and Sonys have a compression ratio of 3.7, while Sigma DPm has a compression ratio of 2.2 AND a person also visually prefers Sigma Foveons then I'd say there is a strong case FOR THAT PERSON to prefer Sigma Foveons.

... are we talking about the best possible out-of-camera JPEG quality, often called "fine"?

Given that “JPEG” isn’t a single standard, how is a metric that uses the term less vague than “resolution”?
