I re-skimmed their white paper. I could NOT find any place in the article where they checked the audio contents of the various files to see if they changed. They used a measuring tape (what?) and an oscilloscope. They appear to have missed the obvious most pertinent metric. Are the bits in the various copies the same or have they changed and how? That should have been the first question to ask and answer.They did not appear to verify the lossless copies. Kind of a HUGE oversight in their testing process before skipping to a conclusion. So much for following a valid protocol to prove/disprove a hypothesis.

Mechanic: Is the gas tank empty ?"... FLAC can handle any PCM bit resolution from 4 to 32 bits per sample, any sampling rate from 1 Hz to 655,350 Hz in 1 Hz increments, and any number of channels from 1 to 8. ... FLAC uses CRC checksums for identifying corrupted frames when used in a streaming protocol, and also has a complete MD5 hash of the raw PCM audio stored in its metadata header. ..."
