MCR, At the risk of being a pawn in your indeterminable game... My opinion is, "it's an illusion" is - IN ITSELF - not an argument to say something isn't present in a recording. Because the whole thing is an illusion.
After all, hearing real sounds in a real space is an illusion (constructed from just oscillations in two eardrums) The question is whether audio playback can encode "enough" for the brain to achieve an illusion comparable to the natural illusion. On this question, I believe the brain is quite sophisticated in using patterns over time windows so that stereo playback can be more effective than is obvious. In any event, I don't believe psychoacoustics is fully understood yet.
