I would call it argumentative to call the first 3 discs "castrated." A lot of good people put a lot of hard work into these and I think your statement was rude. Speculate would be 'gee, do you think the next batch will be 48/24 or will they bump it up to 49/24?'
If you really think that I would insult or try to have an argument because of me calling it "castrated", your perception of sarcastic humor is very different from mine and of most people I deal with.

Q-"Do you think surround sound envelopment equals greater listener involvement…
RF-"Surround has little effect on the quality of listening; although it might initially attract the listening attention. But this does not develop volitional attention necessary for active listening."
I read somewhere that SW's 5.1 mixes were 48/24 because HE chose to do so...
Maybe Jakko's ears are different and would like to update it...
