They can know. Xiph.org is the current maintainer of the FLAC encoder/decoder. The only reason why you want high-res audio is when you do editing and archiving. For listening, 16 bit resolution is enough, because the background noise ("tape hiss") is close to 0 already.
That's article is crap. Hi-res audio is not a waste of space. You don't need 24/192. But 24/96 is not a waste of space. 24/96 helps improve audio that's in the audible range that most people can hear.
