You are correct it is not, and I do not think the author really meant
that correlation.  He was writing to an audience that is not
programmers, he is writing to audio enthusiast.  So he made a jump in
trying to explain and in real music examples you can not currently get
10:1 compression with lossless and I do not consider silence music
unless it is from a child.  However the one thing you said he said was
that mp3 was inferior and that he never stated.
