If I thought that mastering engineers had as their goal the recording and reproduction of the original musical performance exactly as it was originally heard, I might agree that sticking to efforts at absolute fidelity - after the mastering - made sense.
But we both know that is not the goal of mastering.
The goal of the masterers is to sell recordings. They have no qualms about doing whatever they or the producers want to do to the original sound, to sell more records.
Doesn't that throw the principle of absolute fidelity to the original performance pretty much right out the window?
