im beginning to think that i actually should have doubled down on that particular comment and not bother to admitting my mistake given the level of obnoxious behaviour i’m seeing from certain people in this thread.
Our job here is to put forth the best example of rational debate as possible, I appreciated your self correction.
It's perfectly understandable for someone to believe in what they hear and find it very difficult to accept they might be faulty in their thinking regarding subjective opinions of audio replay.
There are significant psychological factors at play here , the direct (personal) confrontation that develops when dealing with opposite opinions rarely results in consensus. It tends to go along defensive lines like we have here.
In putting the best side of ' audio science' or objective measurement based rational forward we stand the best chance of being effective. The more aggressive one is the more defensive the opposing narrative becomes.
We must not forget we are talking to so many more people than just the contributors to the discussion and that's where we should keep our focus in moments like these.
