> No idea of the technicals, other than sampling at double the audible frequency does- to this layman - seem logical it would give you a wave more diverged from reality as frequency increases - and at the absurd extreme a 22khz (inaudible to most) square wave if sampling at 44, 4 points to represent 11k etc.

I gave a link that clearly explains and tests the technical aspects using analog equipment. It's an extremely well-thought out and well-researched video. Did you watch it?

I'm not saying you didn't hear something. I'm just saying the phenomenon you described does not accurately characterize the current state of digital audio, even when using commodity hardware.
