You can, Betty can, Steve can, I can. That is evidence. Some have better equipment than others. Some have hearing impairment to a greater or lesser degree. But the bottom line is that MP3 sucks, from an audio quality standpoint.
A high-bit-rate MP3 is just fine. No need to torture ourselves to reach some imaginary standard of purity. If you need a machine to detect something you can not hear it is really pointless. Music is intended for the enjoyment of humans, not to please machines.
I will continue to advocate the professional and accurate use of the computer in an audio role. But it's not a license to kill. I'll put the signal out as close as I got it in. Elvis has left the building.
