I think you will prefer the head-fi approach. Believe everything good that you hear from people who have the gear that you own or would like to buy, and when those pesky science people come along, tell them about the magic that can't be measured. I'm guessing here, but I suspect that you wouldn't care much, but your theory that testing in the way done here at ASR misses something is by definition an invalid theory because it cannot be falsified. No matter the testing regime used I suspect you will always fall back on the position that the magic is not measurable so why bother.
So do you like proper testing of medications, cars, medical procedures, food additives or do you not require scientific scrutiny there as well? Again, I do not know for certain if this describes you, but when it comes to audio mythology, there is often a double standard among those who purchase silly products like the M-Scaler. They want proof about everything else, but with their audio gear, just a confident sales person such as Robb Watts telling them to trust him will suffice. It doesn't even matter that he is a competent engineer, he markets loosely, close to using falsehoods and implies almost magical thinking to his audio designs.
