this is a debate is pretty much only found in internet forums, with only a handful of people arguing the point any more. The rest of the world (galleries, museums, etc) moved on over a decade ago. Another 20 years, and the general public won't even know what's meant if you use the term film (ask a random sampling of people now and ask them what Wet Plate Collodian is).
While an interesting intellectual debate, it really is irrelevant as far as photography is concerned.
