I've seen plenty of video artifacts due to digital bit rate compression

compression on commercial TV...the bit rates assigned for audio are
pretty high.

The audio isn't abused quite so badly as the video sometimes, but give a
listen to a typical DBS feed on good speakers. You'll hear all kinds of
weird swishing and clanging stuff going on.

sure....I have heard too much dynamic range compression squashing
everything all the time everywhere but that has nothing to do with
digital bit rate compression. You know that of course... Unfortunatly
the two completly different phenomenon both use the term "compression"

I agree that the choice of wording is unfortunate but I think we are
stuck with it now.
