The article AFAIK states little about distortions introduced in remixes & samples. I would expect certain high frequency samples, when mixed together to overlap in time, would introduce moire artifacts (beats).

Not unless you pass them through a non-linear filter like a distortion effect.

(yes, the ear-brain system is non-linear too— but apparently it filters out the ultrasonics before they do anything measurable in this regard)
