David - That's not what they said. The f64 manifesto is as follows:
The name of this Group is derived from a diaphragm number of the photographic lens. It signifies to a large extent the qualities of clearness and definition of the photographic image which is an important element in the work of members of this Group.

There is nothing about sharpness. There is quite a bit about a view of photography, one that they used sharpness to realize.
I don't see the magnitude of distinction between "clearness and
definition" and "sharpness and contrast" that you apparently do.
The choice of name is also relevant here, it seems to me.
