Yeah, there is definitely an argument to be made against the use of dither. Do some research if you're interested (but beware: it's a really, REALLY deep topic, and you'll need to be extremely brushed-up on your digital audio theory!!). Each side makes valid points, but for most purposes, using dither makes the most sense.
