   The point I was making went right over your head.   
      
   What you posted is completely irrelavent to my question about the sound   
   quality AS HEARD BY THE PEOPLE IN THE THEATER AND AS RECORDED BY A   
   HAND-HELD CAM-CORDER.   
      
   Now I'll re-state my thesis:   
      
   If you believe that a modern cam-corder has sufficient technical   
   performance to be able to faithfully and accurately record a movie   
   sound-track from the position and point-of-view of a person sitting in a   
   theater, then the sound quality of the cam-rip of the current Batman   
   movie would indicate that the modern movie-going experience sucks from a   
   sound-quality point of view regardless if you're a human with good   
   hearing ability or if you're a hand-held cam-corder.
