It’s interesting that the author seems keen to discuss the concept of psychoacoustic encoding only to dedicate much of the article to looking at waveforms and making condemnations based on looking at those waveforms. Which misses the point entirely.
This is a somewhat older article, but most lossy encoders at the time were still very good even at fairly low (sub-96 kbps) bit rates.
