Maybe some day I'll get the film developed..." For some of us (and I know for you), the way the images look after the film is developed is important. In fact, the only two things that remain of the experience are the images and our faulty memory of what we were trying to accomplish when we pushed the shutter release. You're probably right that the bokeh is not there when we take the picture. Still, the fact that it remains long after the photo session is over makes it important.
