That may sound (no pun intended. ha) farfetched, but after all, digital remastering may have, too, say 30 years ago. Or, would creating the impression of a higher bit-rate involve a whole different set of, or level of, challenges than accomplishing things like digital remastering?

Any lossy format throws away data so it is not possible to reconstruct that data. You would need a lossless format like FLAC or ACC which toss none of the data to make an 1 to 1 copy.
The only difference I have ever heard between good quality (320 kps VBR) lossy and lossless files is most classical music, heavy metal and some older rock and roll like Emerson, Lake and Palmer. The more wide ranging the sound spectrum is the harder it is to get a good sounding lossy file.
