Um, do the math? 12 bits isn't really all that bad. Most LPs have around 9-10 bits of useful data, but I was being generous. This of course doesn't address sample rate - a whole new can of worms, but I'll just leave that one alone....
Your response seems very forceful for what IMO is a very simple and factual post. If you have some reasoning on this I've missed I'll be happy to discuss it, but if this is just a strongly held belief for you and it offends you to see this sort of thing in print I'll drop it and we can agree to disagree, OK?
Playing at being censor isn't in anyone's interest.
