There will always be an idiot at the back of the room going "Can you get it even louder?"
You need to say "Look, you f*****g idiot!"
Who's name is gonna end up on the cover?
1. The artist.
2. The producer.
3. The engineer/mix engineer.
4. The mastering engineer.
Not the idiot!

I really don't think the problem will completely go away.
It's nothing new!
Just look at the arrival of the 12" single back in the late 70's!
The difference is that you could cut that with serious headroom.
The shorter the song, the louder you could get it until "BANG"!
You've just shafted the cutting head!

Doh!
