Your argument seems to be based on the assumption that CDs are rarely read correctly, and error concealment is required most of the time. This assumption is incorrect. The audio CD format is surprisingly robust. Undamaged CDs played on correctly functioning audio players deliver a 100% perfect data stream in the vast majority of cases. The error correction that CDs players constantly apply is just that: error *correction*. (By the way, hard disks also rely on error correction).
