Default Oversampling converters vs. high SRs

Well, processing 32-bit floating penis makes sense - and I'm almost convinced I kind of heard the difference one time during a blood moon while squinting and wearing lederhosen.

But I don't understand why having more samples to describe a sine wave that can only go one direction or the other makes any sense whatsoever.

I work mostly with instrument plug-ins and sample libraries these days, with occasional live overdubs, so it's not practical to sacrifice half my computer horsepower for such a small improvement - especially when the samples are recorded at 44.1 or 48 anyway.
