Right, I never said it sounded better...

Yes, that is one possibility, I'm just saying on a packed disk I'd rather have them using Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio than simply throwing the LPCM on there. Really, if I had my way, they'd never use LPCM unless the video was so short it was already at max bitrate for its entire duration.
