In the interest of presenting a more coherent argument against the use of hyperbole to express a sonic experience might I suggest that you refrain from using the word “cleaner”? By your own standards this imputes meaninglessness. Either that or permit some of us to gush as we see fit.
As for the clever manipulation of 1s and 0s, to some of us the joy resulting from these manipulations might just as well be magic.
