Perhaps, but what you need to understand is that those
artifacts are
coincidental "improvements" to the sound and represent no increase in the actual sound quality.
For instance, if I were to send you a .jpg of the Mona Lisa and there was a bug in the encoding software that turned the laconic woman's hair purple, you might look at that image and say "Wow, her hair looks much better that way," yet that would not constitute an increase in image quality...
