That's a lot of loss.

There should be no surprise regarding what has been discarded in
perceptual coding. By definition, what is thrown away is information
that is masked and so will not be perceived. This residual should
contain recognizable sounds and be highly correlated with the original
recording.


Agreed, but apparently (I wasn't there) it was a big surprise to a lot of
attendees.
