That makes sense and I think the key thing is the first sentence. When we can digitise an analog instrument or human voice at a resolution fine enough to be imperceptible from analog, and then convert back to audio at the same rate, then the bit rate - and analogue vs digital arguments - will all be irrelevant. It's just a matter of time (and money) to have the equipment capable enough to do the A/D and D/A conversion in real time.
