I don't think knowledgeable people disagree about whether or not is it lossless.

I think the disagreement is about all the "features" attached to Dolby - such as Dialnorm, DRC, the -4DB stuff, that is a headache to steer through.

I also think the lossy core track of DTS is more attractive to those who can't decode either format.

So, do nothing and you get perfect lossless from DTS-HD; twiddle volume knobs, disable/enable stuff on players or receivers, and get perfect lossless from TruHD.

Maybe it's the difference from driving a car with an automatic, or a stick. Most folks prefer an automatic for daily driving.
