As the author points out, 24bit (or 32bit floats, as I use pre-mixdown) 
and 96 or 192k are fine during production stages.  His focus was on the 
relative idiocy of using 24 bit or 192kHz for final product / download.

Absolutely.  I was really glad that Jakub posted it; it's appropriate to 
work I'm doing and confirms in technical terms what I suspected anyway.

Surely.
