Wow, not only does Cookie's post have a very high fruitloopery factor,
it is also written very poorly. Here are some other quotes from the post
I found particularly amusing:

"If you can't hear the difference between an original CD and a copy of
your CD, you might as well give up your career as a tester."

"You'll need to figure out a way to listen to your audio from the same
source through the same flow of electronics. Determine what your source
medium is going to be and deliver your files to be compared to one
source. Of course, this is going to be one digital generation away, but
all things considered your files will undergo the same digital
generation."

And without doubt the best of the best: "Those of us in mastering and
recording are dealing with issues of loss of bits during storage and
archiving daily. "

I guess the fact that at this point in history the entire world economy
absolutely depends of the ability store, transport, and copy massive
amounts of digital data without a single undetected and corrected error
(or 'loss of bits') every day has completely eluded Cookie. Well, she
did work for Windham Hill.
