In presense of such tests, it's somewhat more difficult to argue adequacy of 44.1 kHz RBCD sample rate, wouldn't you say? Combined with the fact that there actually ARE musical instruments that produce frequencies in > 22 kHz range (and we're not even talking software, which is legitimate "instrument", too).
The fact that only 15 people were in the group, prompts another question - what are chances that if that was 1500, or 15000, somebody would detect signals at let's say 26 kHz, which nobody in that group was able to detect?
Your point about 90dB tone at 5KHz - surely it would be interesting, especially if people knew WHAT to listen for. In other words had those "listening skills", that objectivists get hard-on when merely mentioned. In such conditions, differences would most likely manifest themselves as proverbial "air", or "depth", or something else as intangible.
