when recording @ 44,1, the machine will measure
44100 times per second the amplitude of the signal and
it will store these values somewhere. During playback these values
will be converted back to an analogue that WILL NOT be the same due
to the fact that only if we take infinite measurements we can have a
true digital representation of the signal. That is because has
absolutely no clue of what happens between those 44100 samples.

This is quite simply not true. Assuming the sound that is sampled 44.1k/sec=

has NO sine wave components greater than 22.05kHz then it is totally
predictable what happens between each measurement a sine wave is Very
predictable.
