Then, simply put, your 'fair surety' is not warranted.


Then I'm told there can't be any
difference.

Bull****. NO ONE said there CAN'T be any difference. It's possible
to make a suboptimal transfer.

The reasoning, I gather, is based on something called
"Virtual Reality" methodology, which involves double-blind testing
amongst other things.

'Double blind testing' existed long before 'virtual reality' technology.

And I asked what that was all about in an
admittedly precise way. Nothing to do with solipsism - at least from my end.

You are laboring under at least several misconceptions.

There is NO known technical or physiological reason why a good digital
transfer of LP playback shouldn't capture ALL of the audible information
available.

Proceed from there.
