Soundstage and image height, does it exist?


On another site, there is a discussion on soundstage, and there are a few people clamming, that, since there is no vertical information encoded on stereo recordings, that soundstage height does not actually exist. It is a product of our minds filling in missing information. 

Are they correct?

Please explain your position, with as much technical details as you feel needed.

When I sit on the floor listening to music I get a perception of sound stage height.

Plus my cat like it cause I am rubbing her belly while we listen. 

Hope that was not snotty or to technical.
