I thought it was pretty clear. If you are out in the audience at a concert and you where to record it with a set of bunny ears (those stereo microphones from the 70's. Think radio Shack.) you are capturing the sound at a point that is out in the audience and is subjected to all of the nasty reflections and other room nodes as heard by this hypothetical listener never mind that the stereo microphones are only 6" apart. This is not real stereo and in reality probably wouldn't even sound right through headphones because there is no stereo separation. It definitely would not sound right played over your loudspeakers for a multitude of objective reasons as well as subjective ones. This is why live recordings aren't done this way. All you have to do to test this is find an old bootleg recording of a Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd concert from the 70's and listen to them. They are horrible. There are reasons one would use binaural microphones but they aren't used to record music.This makes little sense to me. Most recordings are recorded so as to create the illusion the artist is trying for with a air of stereo loudspeakers. Plsy it over headphones, you get that unnatural sound inside your head. Ambiosonic recordings were made to work on headphones.
