Well, you're totally right EQ!
The whole bit rate thing can get pretty funny.
It's not like we use high bit rates 'cause we're stupid or we can't write good music and think that crap would sound good just 'cause it's 24 bit bla bla bla...

On a rare ocasion I do come across a guy who judges a piece of music by it's bit rate. it's very rare though. Not surprising at all , 'cause idiots do exist. most of us high bit rate users do know a thing or two about music making.
I personally use 16 bit 48.1K on my old (newbus) Pro Tools setup and it doesn't bother me at all. I do however get into higher rates on my newer Pro Tools as well as DIGI001. So by the end of the day, I'm not too picky about bits and Ks.I really use 20/24 bit and the high Ks BECAUSE I CAN .
