You're joking, right?

You mean like the published scientific results from the past that
showed that people can't tell the difference between music with and
without these 20kHz+ components?

I can only assume your naivety comes from the desire to believe this...
-All- new results must be greeted with skepticism until independently
confirmed by several other groups.  That's just how things are - the
history of science is littered with wrong results where the researchers
either overlooked something, made a mistake in the analysis, got caught
by a statistical fluke, were affected by confirmation bias, or (-very-
rarely) deliberately falsified their results.

One thing that's peculiar about the results is that they report a very
significant correlation for "Instruments in balance vs. instruments in
imbalance", "Comfortable to ears vs. uncomfortable to ears", and "Rich
in nuance vs. lacking in nuance" - and no correlation for "Like vs.
dislike".  That's extremely bizarre - how could you hear the first
three things and not prefer one over the other?
