This is found towards the end of the article.If they had used a 50kHz sampling, people would have enjoyed their CDs a lot better. Using a low sampling rate or less bits is a form of compression which many don't seem to realize.
IMHO, the difference between 96/24 and 44.1/16 is greater than uncompressed 44.1/16 and a 256kbps MP3 file.
