Sigh.  I was afraid of this.  I'll restate it:

Maybe someone cares about CDs going above 20 KHz.  So to make the point
I was attempting to make let's say that no one cares about CD audio
going above 100 KHz, or if that isn't enough, 1 MHz, ok?  My point is
that there IS a physiological limit.  Beyond a certain point it isn't
even a tradeoff between quality and cost:  higher fidelity won't make
ANY difference because of limitations of human perception.
