Well yes, the electrical signal from a mic or whatever is analogue, but I think the problem with this argument is that "later down the processing chain" is basically as soon as you try to do anything meaningful with the signal, such as (say) record it to tape. You might get back a high resolution signal, but it's not the same one you started with. If you're really bothered about accuracy rather than artistic effect or whatever, surely you want to digitise as early as possible.
