MIDI is an extraordinarily lossy music representation. Even Claude Shannon would facepalm at the assertion that it could, in theory, represent audio faithfully. It is not its purpose, it is decidedly not its practice, and it is a ludicrously irrelevant example of pedantry to say otherwise. The false equivalency asserted by the commons can be aggravating :D

MIDI is not a lossy format for audio because it's not a representation of audio, period. It's a format for conveying the motion of a piano keyboard, meant from the beginning to be usable for various forms of audio.
