Quite right, but I wouldn't be able to use a CD as a distribution vehicle otherwise, and a lot of people wouldn't be able to hear it. The test is still valid as a comparason between the bit depths represented. I do have many 24 bit, multi-channel master copies of music scores for a lot of films I've worked on, and ones you probably have on DVD.
