I think this was the point of Bill Sepmeier's post... When, in the "real 
world", is a signal on the MW band *ever* going to be received without any 
interference, outside the 500mv/m contour of the station? You mentioned that the 
comparison was made against a "perfect" AM signal, then listed a number of common 
RFI generators as being absent for the test. (Lab conditions, basically.)

In the "real world", those noise sources abound. Thus, the only place you're 
going to see that error-free digital signal, is either parked right next to 
the station's antenna (array) or in a lab.

Bill can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's what he was driving at. 
(Bad pun, sorry.) <G>
