I love Sandy's carbon prints. They are so full of like.

Funny, Sandy and I have the same process (granted, he came up with it and I happened to fall in line with it after experimentation by happenchance) of Mamiya 7, Acros 100 and Pyrocat-HD. It really is as good as he says. Scanning is easy, printing is easier and I have yet to notice any grain, even when cropping down to what would be a 20x24" from the 6x7.
PMK was phenomenal when paired with Neopan 400, but alas, that time has waned.

In real terms the dyes colour negatives and prints fade quickly so it's not a valid comparison.

How would you ever be able to substantiate that statement. How do you know if 100 year old stain had faded? What densitometer did you use to check it 100 years ago?
Now I may agree with you that if the stain all faded away it won't be an issue, because the silver is still there, but then why bother with the stain in the first place.
However, if the stain fades in an un-even manner, the negative is ruined:
