It is well known that _third order harmonics_, well above "human

It may be "well known" but it isn't true.

*YOU* are making the claim.

AAMOF, a trained listener, like a recording engineer, relies on these
third order harmonics to make a distinction between good sound and
excellent sound.

Nonsense.

Your ignorance is showing. Key words: harmonics and timbre ... Use them to
learn something.

Utter audiophoolisms. Look up "Fourier Transform" and "Nyquist limit".

(It's one of the reasons why us old fart recording engineers, like Bruce
Swedien who did most of Michael Jackson's and Barbara Streisand's work,
among others, can still record and mix with the best at an advanced age.


... that is, we could before the Nyquist frequency limits of digital
sampling rates robbed us of anything above half the sampling frequency.

You can't be robbed of something that never existed.

Your ignorance is either more profound than your above statements suggest,
are you're simply trolling.

You've listened to too many audiophools.

Record any music containing an instrument(s) with harmonic content above
22050Hz onto a CD and anything above that frequency will be lost.

Wrong (worse than that). The world is not perfect but it doesn't matter. You
can't hear it.

Keyword, Nyquist ... Inform yourself before you spout off.

You're the one who needs to UNDERSTAND Nyquist. I deal with it every day.
