Most people will probable can't tell the difference in quality, so it isn't that big of a problem. Most people will listen on hifi speakers, instead of high quality monitors.

Yeah I understand the way mp3 compression works, I was just wondering if it's fairly common for so-called "high-quality" (192k, 16 bit) files to cut off all frequencies after 16Khz, which does indeed seem to be the case.
