You would have to be visually impared to not see the huge difference between VHS and a hidef digital video. I doubt that most people can tell the difference between vinyl and a CD. Many audiopaths (aka audiophiles) will of course argue that vinyl is vastly superior, bringing up all kinds of pseudo-science which is also used to sell overpriced gear

Vinyl and cd are simple to tell apart. On cd there's no hums, no crackles, better bass and overall fidelity is better. It's like the different between DVD and bluray. On a good system anyone can tell the difference.

Not to mention vinyl has to be specially mastered for, so the content isn't even 1:1.
