Perhaps your language was a bit strong, but I generally agree. Conflating dynamic compression (loudness wars) vs. lossy compression is inexcusable. Most CDs produced today have already thrown away information needed to enjoy the music through the loudness wars. This usually does worse damage to the music than 320 kbps Mp3 or 256 AAC encoding.
Not to mention that the so called "lossless" CD format already threw away information in the analog stream because of the 44/16 format which is incapable of accurately reproducing the output of a live microphone stream or a 15 or 30 IPS master tape.
Not to mention that most "stereo" recordings are not really stereo recordings, but multiple mono recordings mixed and pan-potted into flat recordings with no depth.
