I'll exactly argue against that. Information is a difference that makes a difference. A difference people can't discriminate in a proper double-blind test isn't a difference that matters.
Lossless or near lossless for sources makes sense, to the degree the extra information can eventually result in a detectable difference in derived content. Lossless, if used at all, is only used for archiving deep in studios.
