To be clear, no one's suggesting (or should suggest) that ALAC is not
bit perfect.  It is.

It's the bit extraction that's possibly not bit-perfect.  But this is
only on damaged CDs, undamaged CDs should be fine.  Even if there's the
odd bit error, it will be inaudible.  You have to have significant
visible damage to produce even a slight tick sound in one channel.

So yes, in the grand majority of cases with undamaged discs, iTunes
should be fine.  I wasn't trying to run down iTunes here.
