Well, can you refer us to an A/B test that confirms your assertions? Personally I take a dim view of people telling me that a test would surely confirm their assertions, but without actually doing any test. And again, there are a variety of real-world use cases where the 16 bit audio from a CD (or whatever) has its dynamic range reduced in the playback chain. Are we supposed to just ignore those use cases?
