I think you misunderstand. There's no particular problem with having a lossy
codec -- it just means that some information is being discarded, but
hopefully not very important information to the sound of the file.

The problem comes when you take something that was compressed with one lossy
algorithm, and convert it to a totally different one. Odds are good you'll
end up with the worst effects of both.
