I think that's the wrong way of looking at what happened, at least with CDs. When CDs first came out, the music industry had decades of experience mastering for LPs and cassettes, and no experience at all mastering for CDs. It took some time to figure out how to best use the format, and in the meantime thousands (millions?) of crappy-sounding CDs were released. A record player naturally adds a certain amount of reverb to the music when it is playing -- that's the warmth. Recordings were engineered to take advantage of that. Then the same recordings were dumped to CD without compensating for the missing reverb. The CD would more accurately produce the sound on the master tapes, but those sounds were never intended to be heard that way. Frequently the digital recording levels were all messed up too. From the article, it sounds like the exact same sort of thing is happening with 48fps. Right now the movie world is still learning how to use it. I kind of wish they'd practiced on films I don't want to see, but that's life.
