If the human ear can't hear anything above 20kHz, then it makes no difference at all if a 15kHz square wave looks better on the scope sampled at 96kHz. (It'll only look a little better, anyway.) I don't really have a strong opinion about whether 96kHz sounds better than 44.1, except in the context of audio processing. I just didn't agree with your statement about the Nyquist theorem.
