Moreover, as you certainly know, any abrupt start and stop of sound
produces distortion (which is the "sic" way of stating that the
sampling theory can't reproduce the sound). Because the theory says
"Any sudden beginning or ending amounts to high frequency content. A
sine burst itself contains a sine wave and a gating wave (turning the
sine on and off). The gate requires infinite bandwidth. A different way
to state this is that the sinc functions at the beginning and end are
truncated.".

So, is there something that I forgot ?
