This is EXACTLY right! I feel like posting it every time someone gets excited about high sample rates and ignores the fact that what is really important is the bit depth, not the sample rate... You don't have to have spent very much time recording and mixing audio to realise the point. I would take 24/44 over 16/192 every day, and 24/44 is much more efficient in terms of saving data space.
