Well, I did.
All that matters here is audio, not analogy with other fields. We have a simple problem that strong marketing is applied to lay intuition. Cars burn in, therefore cables must too. Companies sell filtered water so there must be something to filtered AC also. Jitter sounds like a bad thing so every digital source must have some amount of it. The glow of tubes is warm so should be the sound.
The improper sighted tests complete the picture. Nonsense change is made and sound improves. Ergo, person believes. And no, while this does have analogy in medicine, clearly the other side is super comfortable ignoring it per my other message. Heck if doctors stopped buying audio gear, half of these high-end audio companies would go out of business!
