To be fair, that's true today, but not in 2008 when this article was written. MP3 encoders have come a long way and bitrates are typically much higher.

I'm not sure its true even today. I've done lots of work in studios and can hear the difference between MP3 vs FLAC and CD -- even these days.
No you can’t. Maybe it’s volume, maybe it’s the non-blinded nature of the testing, but you can’t hear it. They’re the same.
Ah we will have to agree to disagree here :)
