You didn't comprehend what he wrote and seemingly what I said either . Enjoy the holidays away from this thread .

David Chesky on Streaming Convenience vs Sound Quality
- Thread starter markstein
- Start date
Agreed and I basically said that. There is no reason take anything in audio based on faith, yet some do. It is technology and can be measured. Why someone like Chesky would spew such nonsense in the face of data is a mystery. And I said that on page one of this thread a few hours after it was started.
Not this one. At least, not anymore.
This is what Perplexity.AI says about Chesky being a doctor

As @Martin has said a page or 2 ago , I can find nothing other than a kids record adopting the Dr Cheeky for the title but the artist is just stated as David Chesky.
He is from a family of medical doctors but I've seen nothing to say he has claimed to be any form of doctor (medical or PhD , not even honorary) so I think that's @Spenav muddying the water ). Let's leave that particular angle alone please .

If you studied math, you certainly were tasked with proving that a theorem is true. As an example, you could prove that the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is true under some conditions.

Thank you for that explanation. From what I've read, he might not even have a college degree at all. So it must be a musical name like Dr. Demento.

CD65 for one.Please name a few of them
Our favorite 1812. The cannon are real.
The Moldau will make you weep.
We have many Chesky CDs, not because of technical aspects, but because of the performances.
He basically stated his Bias going in. The result confirmed that Bias.Read the first sentence… no need to read the rest
They are normally pretty quickly identified by our Community of Bot Sniffers. But some might slip through. AI is getting harder and harder to spot. Soon we will all be conversing with AI replicants. They say we have nothing to worry about.
Not always, but too frequently a doctorate is an indication of conformity with the prevailing group think.
Of the two most knowledgeable gentlemen I've known, one had a doctorate and one didn't finish 8th grade. Neither was omniscient nor claimed to be infallible. Just saying...
Don't know ... may be.
In my profession it is 'usual' to have a Dr., because you are a Doctor, without really proof of ability to be a 'Doctor'.
I hear you. It's probably telling that no one ever says, "Professor, heal thyself."
A University degree is something we did a long time ago. Even if you got an MSEE or any MSc type degree only 5 years ago, for the most part it is already obsolete. Engineering moves very fast these days, and what we prove in University is merely our ability to learn.
I am not saying you don't need fundamentals. But I never once used my ability to crack Fourier and Laplace functions in my professional life to be honest. Nor does what I did in my engineering career give me any more authority/knowledge than the average, well-informed, constantly learning ASR regulars. I have known people with advanced degrees from very prestigious universities I'd never work with again. The biggest sin in engineering is to *think* you know everything there is to know about any specialty. The learning never stops, and what you knew yesterday may well be meaningless tomorrow. For example, Steve Ballmer was a brilliant student in academia by all accounts (never met him), but he famously laughed off the Apple iPhone as a stupid product.
I think it is horribly bad form to claim you have a degree you didn't earn (and unless you don't own the company you work in, you'll get fired on the spot for providing false credentials in tech), but I have worked with plenty of people that don't have a university degree and yet are a force in the tech industry I work in.
In any case, I don't think any of that is relevant to the topic - the statement in the original message in this topic is self-condemning to any independent thinker. Zero debate IMO.

There is nothing wrong with laughing off the iPhone idea, well besides the point he was wrong, of course.
But it is much more important what you do when your mistake becomes obvious.
Do you go the learning way or do you go the stubborn way?
Makes all the difference. Credentials has nothing to do with it.
My ME degree paid off nicely. As we head towards robots, automation in all things including transportation, and AI a university degree in any engineering or science discipline is a worth while effort if so inclined. I will say there are a dearth in much needed trade education opportunities, for those fields in in the US. Agreed off topic.
well, 'Dr.' doesn't just apply to medical degrees ...any PhD in any subject area can also use the title.
But has he actually used the title 'Dr.'?
