Well, yeah...   Waveform analysis doesn't mean anything if you can't hear 
the difference. Human neurophysiology is not unlike an ADC. JND (just 
noticeable difference) is easiest to understand with something like 
weight. How much heavier do an apple have to be before you perceive it to 
be heavier? Think about it like an 8bit ADC where a range of values all 
get dumped into the same bucket.
