High resolution audio is important to me as a sound designer because of the ability to severely slow down a piece of audio without any aliasing or stuttering.
At 96KHz and higher with certain samples I can slow down by 80% and it will still sound good.
Do you mean slowing down while lowering pitch (without resampling)? If so, you're correct, as you bring harmonics from out of limit of human hearing back and the result sounds natural.
But if you mean just changing the speed of the sound, than you need to change the algorithm you're using. There should be no difference in quality due to sources having different sample rates.
