Yeah, might not be such a good idea to hang audio cables or people.I believe that's called crucifixion.

Well, what a person “truly believes” is unknowable to third parties (this is called a known unknown), so it would be impossible to ever accuse anyone of lying, if the accuser has to prove the deliberateness of the false claim. Every blatant liar gets off the hook! They only have to say a second lie, “I truly believe it”, and walk away scot free.I think that lying is a deliberate activity; you know that what you are saying is untrue and say it anyway. If a person truly believes in a false proposition and states that, is he lying, or just plain wrong?

You mean high voltage transmission lines... what is average the voltage transmission of a speaker cable?High tension transmission line use ceramic as isolator.
First, "professional ignoramus" is not an oxymoron. One can be both a professional and an ignoramus. And in many fields, it is simply impossible to remain current on all the research and conversant in it. If you want to read published research and literature in many scientific fields, you face thousands of published articles and reports on applied research in almost every serious field., on a monthly basis. As an example, I recently accessed an article on authoritariansim from one journal. Since then, this single journal has emailed me daily on new articles in the field, and that's one journal. Each of these articles contains results from testing, and each of them reaches slightly different to wildly different conclusions on similar questions. "Fully informing" oneself in many fields is a barely possible task which leaves little time for anything else and still you will find articles that massively contradict other articles in the same field.Well, what a person “truly believes” is unknowable to third parties (this is called a known unknown), so it would be impossible to ever accuse anyone of lying, if the accuser has to prove the deliberateness of the false claim. Every blatant liar gets off the hook! They only have to say a second lie, “I truly believe it”, and walk away scot free.
So the accuser has to make a judgement call, if the goal is to identify liars, and that’s reasonable. Like so many things in life.
My view on that judgement call is that if a person is a professional in his or her domain, then he or she has a duty and obligation to fully inform oneself on the material and make statements that are categorically true. Subsequently, when they make statements that are categorically untrue, it is reasonable to accuse them of lying, because it is reasonable to assume that they know better because ‘professional ignoramus’ is an oxymoron.

There is a difference between just not being up-to-date, and actively ignoring what is given to you.First, "professional ignoramus" is not an oxymoron. One can be both a professional and an ignoramus. And in many fields, it is simply impossible to remain current on all the research and conversant in it. If you want to read published research and literature in many scientific fields, you face thousands of published articles and reports on applied research in almost every serious field., on a monthly basis.
Something is either true or not (or not definable). Personal opinion has no bearing on that.Second, the fact that many people in audio believe things that are demonstrably untrue only means they are demonstrably untrue in your opinion.
Things that can't be proven cannot be true nor false obviously. But many other claims that people believe in can, so let's focus on those.If someone says that audio measurements don't measure everything, then prove them wrong (an impossible task). I happen to think these people are fools, but that doesn't mean I can prove it, and it certainly doesn't mean they are liars.
Don't misdirect my words. I said a professional has a duty and obligation to know the material that they choose to make statements about. Not to know everything there is to know about a field. And if they make categorically untrue statements in their field, that's unprofessional. Hence the oxymoron.First, "professional ignoramus" is not an oxymoron. One can be both a professional and an ignoramus. And in many fields, it is simply impossible to remain current on all the research and conversant in it.
It is only a lie, if he himself knows it is untrue. His belief makes the difference between a lie and unknowingly stating something incorrect.So if a person says something to me thats untrue but believes it, he's not lying? What difference does his belief mean to me. (especially when you can't refute as in these videos).
spewing bullshit
deceptive, misleading, disingenuous
A person who excels at communicating nonsense on a given subject is sometimes referred to as a "bullshit artist" instead of a "liar."
Wha.wha.what???So what is the formula for calculating weight of massively oversized ***** cable on various ports (pedophilia related I assume overall)?
