Ahem.  If you ask them again, they will say something to the effect that
the *average* person cannot hear tones above ~20kHz.  Many people can hear
(or perhaps "feel" might be a better description) harmonics in the 22-25kHz
range, but because CD-Audio "clips" everything above 22.05kHz those
harmonics are lost.  A 44.1kHz sampling rate is not sufficient to capture
those high-end sounds.
