Ok, even if we're talking about a single storage medium, 192kHz audio
isn't going to be reproduced any better than 44.1kHz audio written to
the same media.

Think of the errors as additive white noise superimposed on the audio
signal (although that's not the physical mechanism by which the errors
arise, the resulting error signal will be white). In the 192kHz case,
192/44.1 times as many physical errors will occur, so the total energy
of the error signal will be 192/44.1 times as high. However, this is
distributed over a signal bandwidth that's 192/44.1 times as wide, so
the PSD will be the same in each case. Therefore, the total energy in
the audible band (0-20kHz) will be the same.

Fully right, but it is a low cost solution if you want to avoid the cost of
a digital low pass filter & decimator...

And the packing density. If 192 samples are packed into the same space
as 44.1, then a scratch of a particular size destroys more than 4 times
as much data at the higher density.

The cost is in any case low, and a little extra cost in the acquisition
chain is amply repaid in reduced storage cost of all the copies.

There is no gurantee that the audio signal is bandlimited. If we cant

i will do that
