But there is a technical reason for them as the tools used to master/make music work better at the higher formats. Its not "superstition" its digital audio.

Of course. That's why I specifically said "end-user listening."

It's also what this entire discussion's about.

Of course formats above 44.1/16 are useful for professional work; nobody's ever said otherwise. Just like graphics professionals work with high-res images and lossless formats even if the end product is a .jpg on a web page.
