Default Re: 44.1 kHz vs. 48 kHz - why not use the higher?

There was a thread here on the DUC that talked about an experiment where two buttons were labeled "44.1" and "96". Subjects listened to the sounds by pressing the appropriate buttons and reporting their opinions. They all said the "96" button sounded better than the "44.1" button.

Except the buttons were reversed. The 96 was really the 44.1.
