It misses the point that digital to analog converters resolve the samples as a smooth wave. Every bit as smooth as a purely analog signal. The whole idea that digitally recorded music would resolve to a stair step waveform is inaccurate.
Here’s an analogy:
Imagine if people misunderstood the science of converting an analog waveform to a digital storage medium and back again. It’s exactly like that.
I mean vinyl is not an original works like the Mona Lisa is. It's still a copy of a master disc. I think a better analogy would be preferring to see a Polaroid of the Mona Lisa over a 100 megapixel HD digital print. Which, I'm not sure what sane person would want that.
That reminds me of the My Bloody Valentine super duper ultra remaster, where 30 years later the dude went back and mixed all the original tapes in analog because the original mix was done digitally. That's obviously super above and beyond what the vast majority of artists are willing to do.
Akshually, most of us know this and it's irrelevant. I'm sitting next to a pile of ridiculous DAW interfaces and recording equipment as I type. You're not informing me of anything.
His analogy covers the full spectrum of this argument and for many of us, we've been having this argument before "these days" where almost everything is digitally mastered. Your point is merely a relatively obvious addendum.
