Default 16 bit vs 24 bit, 44.1khz vs 48 khz <-- please explain

Greater word depth reduces the ambiguity inherent in quantization.


Thanks Chris,
So is this point a matter of contention or is this agreed upon by all? If it is
agreed upon then is the argument on the "24 bit sounds no better than 16 bit"
side that the effects of the ambiguity are inherently negligable or perhaps
that interpolation or something else "repairs" the ambiguity adequately? I hope
I have framed thew question well enough to be understood.
