Well, Ray, you are my man. So, this is not a about you, my friend.
But, a few others are under flaming heat here in the process of seeking some sort of reasonable balance between worship of "objective", "rational" scienceism, its' limits, and the belief system it entails. That, versus any attempts to understand the inevitable limits of that science and any attempts to verify whether all that truly makes any audible difference.
I hate to suggest this, but is there not from time to time here, in the "land of the objectivists", some sort of objectivist Nazisim? That implies we as objectivists have all the answers, as in 100%. But, sorry, if I do not see that as true. Yes, of course, I am not saying that audio science is wrong, and every arbitrary listener anecdote must be worshiped. But, the reverse may not necessarily be true, either, in all cases.
Yes, I am a card carrying objectivist. But, to me, that means I should be more open minded and critically accepting or rejecting of any new evidence, based on concrete logic and evidence. That should be the objective of all science, including audio science.
