"Are you comparing 256/320 kbps MP3 to FLAC, Apple Lossless, and other lossless compression schemes and coming to the conclusion that MP3 is better?"

Yes. Specifically lossless that's decoded in real time. (If the lossless is decoded prior to playback, then I prefer the lossless.)

"Did I misunderstand your comment?"

No.

By the way, I've had this sentiment for quite some time (link). If given the choice, from purely a sonic perspective, I find 256 or 320 kbps MP3 to be less destructive to the music than lossless decoded in real time.
