There are two parts to this forum:
1. The home page. This is where I will individually manage and the goal is to show and explain real science of audio as best as I can determine and relay. Currently that is work in progress but if you take one look at what is there, you see that is 100% about audio science and engineering. No one reading that and entering the forum would think this is just any other audio forum.
2. A forum. The forum is for you all. I play a small role in what is said in there. My core contribution to that is to say that when there is conflicting point of view, the compass to get out of that mess points to what is accepted by Audio Science. And by that, I mean what is considered norm in AES, ASA, IEEE Spectrum, and the like.
To that end, if you want to dispute Ethan, the path is to show him such references, scientific/engineering explanation, measurements, etc. That would then make the forum look like it is driven by reasoning of scientists/engineers as you state. Mere disagreement makes us look like any other forum to see who can shout louder. You saw me provide such documentation. That is my expectation from others.
And to be clear, I am not the guard for the forum. As the forum grows it will be way outside of my abilities to read everything and try to right every wrong. You all as the members have and know the core values and are the ones that set its overall direction.
