The easiest way to correlate it is think of audio like a digital picture.

You have to be careful with digital photography analogies.

Going from 960x960 to exactly half, is NOT 480x480 (it would actually be one quarter the size).

Imagine a 2x2 pixel image (4 pixels like a box).

If they were like a checkerboard (black/white) and you need to 'downsample' to only 2 pixels worth of info, which would be black/white/etc...?

In real life, the image gets a little 'fuzzy'.
