It's important IMHO not to characterize Shannon's sampling theory
In this context, there seems to have been some equivocation in this thread over the use of the words "theory" and "theorem."
I had a conversation not so long ago with somebody who didn't said that they believe the "sampling theory." (sic.)
Theorem means
proven, and it is no more a "theory" than, say, Pythagoras' Theorem, which has and will always give the correct result for the length of the unknown side of a right-angled triangle.
(OK, "real-world" triangles such as one drawn on a piece of paper are bound to be "imperfect" and deviate from an "idealised" right-angled triangle; but, in an abstract/mathematical sense, that's not the point...)
