Actually appreciate the hell out of this writeup.

But why or under what circulstances would a FLAC download be randomly consistent with that example you gave? Unless its a mass purveyor of counterfeit files what would be the economic angle enabling that?

You kinda have to look a little harder for all things FLAC/"lossless", seems implausible to randomly stumble upon some serialization of that already unlikely case example

Edit: I guess if I'm being honest I would reformulate to

If there is a large combined/multi release album or work that I want and know to exist in lossless format (FLAC) how can I aquire it other than a torrent if not so already and findably available?
