Take a picture either with a film or ccd camera of a 10 candela source.
Compare that to picture of a 1000 candela source with same exposure.
You say they would look the same.

We are making _digital_ images. Even digital images of nature have
been subject to aa or lpf at some point. In real life the clipping
occurs at the image detector/film, not before. The aa/lpf operates
on the unclipped intensities. Would be hard to make it work the other
way around :)
