Medium format should always beat out 35mm film in every application.

Not so!!! Medium format lacks the spontaneity of the small format for rapidly progressing events (e.g., war journalism, candid photography, classic street photography, etc.) All of the three formats have their strengths and weaknesses and ideally should be used accordingly.

With 6 x 4.5 autoexposure/auto focus/zoom SLRs proliferating I don't think you can say that medium format is less spontaneous than 35mm anymore.
