no comment on their mixing skills (and i've heard really weird crap come out of the mouths of incredibly talented mixers) but your learned audio engineer friends need to read up on their math. what they're saying might have been partly true more than a decade ago but it's FUD now.

can happen due to different WAV file header information (different DAWs pad metadata differently - e.g. track author, ACID looping info etc, this isn't audio data though and won't affect the actual audio being played), or silence at the beginning/end of a track.

no, it's not a preview. it's full resolution data, unless you're explicitly turning features down (e.g. in reaper you can run the playback engine with a lower quality resample or time stretch mode for better performance and a higher quality one for rendering, but you can set those to anything you want so it's a bit of a moot point).
