This is exactly what the Nyquist theorem promises. You can reproduce
any signal below SR/2. If this signal is not a sine wave, then it must
contain more higher frequencies and at that time, you don't follow the
Nyquist rule. Only two values are enough to mathematically reproduce
an exact waveform; even more precise than you can sample it.

So this argument with only a few samples on the high frequencies is
not holding up.

One big reason for going up to 96kHz is not primarily because of being
able to sample high frequencies, but because you don't need such a
sharp filter at the input that may taint your input signal.

This is how I understand it.
