You've said it yourself. The crucial bit is audibility, and that is the bit not addressed in the article and just assumed to be true.
The listening test referenced was pretty weak and it makes me wonder. If the same method (ONE play, missing pertinent technical details - e.g. downsampling/dithering for red book - apparently they "looked at each other" which is taken to mean they all had identical impressions) had been used by "the skeptics" how conclusive would it be seen as? If anyone can show me some real evidence that CD isn't transparent, I will change my opinion of course.
