filmscanners: Getting 15 stops or latitude out of B&W negative film?



Someone has made a claim that he can get 15 stops of latitude out of B&W
negative film.  Specifically TMax 100.  Here's my understanding:

Since stops are either 1/2 the amount of light, or 2x the amount of light,
15 stops would be 2**15, or 32768:1, which is a dynamic range of 4.5.  My
experience has been the best one can get out of B&W film is around 7/8
stops, which is a dynamic range of 2.1/2.4.

Thoughts?  Anything wrong with my arithmetic?
