However that fact obviously does not preclude the possibility that two DIFFERENT recordings, e.g. the CD and SACD releases, might sound different due to different mastering/processing.
Is that your answer? Final answer?

...with no audible difference. They would not, however, find such a reliable conduit to the homes of those with the systems and listening habits to appreciate them. The secret, for two-channel recordings at least, seems to lie not in the high-bit recording but in the high-bit market."
What, exactly, do you find hard to understand about this?
Anyway, I've wasted more than enough time here. Good luck.
I bought several Telarc SACD/CD hybrid recordings a few years ago and found the sound quality to be outstanding, and I don't have an SACD player. I chalked it up to extra care during the recording process.

the concept of backsliding has eluded you.

It's not backsliding. The authors simply note that the MASTERING might be better on the SACD, because they're aimed at an audiophile market. The exact same mastering COULD be released as a CD, with no audible difference.
In other words, we could return to the early CD mastering practice of actually committing a faithful transfer of the spectral and dynamic range of the original recording, to CD. Crazy idea!
The author's bottom line is that the sonic 'superiority' of one version over the other, often attributed by 'audiophiles' to the formats themselves, is actually INDEPENDENT of the formats. It's a mastering choice.
is called speculation .

Ever read a scientific paper, E-stat? You'll usually find that after presenting the data, the authors attempt to plausibly explain what it means.
Then again, I guess to you that's all just SPECULATIN'. I can only imagine you have a more parsimonious explanation for the results?
between that which a study proves and well that which generates speculation. Continue to speculate away.

Right.
