It just means that not having a full range higher order mic does not stop us from creating higher order content. But of course it would be good to have such a mic, I just don't see it happen any time soon, and when it happens it will be expensive. There is one being developed using two spheres: a solid one with 32 mics on the surface, plus 32 mics in free space on a larger diameter sphere. This will ease some of the problems we have at LF with e.g. the eigenmike. But it requires 64 channels...
