There are many available and generally accepted definitions for science and the scientific method.
Thank you for indirectly showing me this Chord Engineering.
You're very wrong. A lot of the history of science is trying to figure out certain phenomena in manmade objects. For example, electricity was discovered because of an attempt to figure out static charges with certain materials. That lead to a lot of discoveries about the nature of anatomy, weather and so on. Very fundamental things.
I am interested to learn more about your forum, assuming it is about audio?
Yeah, I was not specific enough. I meant Rob "the JWST" Watts, consultant to Chord Electronics.
Audiophiliacs???It's a porn site.
It’s not. The fee is to keep people wanting to spam or not directly interested in our topic stay out.
Then I will be use it free. I’m an expertIt's a porn site.
I honestly didn't know about porn forums. But if it's for science, I'll give it a try.

Well sometimes it's just easier to ask your question to the ones that can answer right away than to read 120 pages of different studies or whitepapers.Most people here are not scientists and I firmly believe that majority is not that interested in minute details of scientific theory. If one is mostly interested in practical applications then there are less new groundbreaking things to discuss day to day.
I have seen this happen in other hobbyist forums as well: a lot of discussions is started by new people who cannot be bothered to read previous discussions or won't use few hours to understand the basics which would reduce the number of useless questions. Old farts might get frustrated time to time, "not this shit again", but it's just the way it is in internet.
People who are interested in bodybuilding type of training might notice eerily similar questions in those forums: "is it better to do three sets of six or four sets of eight in squats?", "should I use whey concentrate or isolate in my recovery drink?", "what exercise targets my upper mid pectoral muscles the best?". You could approach these questions scientifically and going through dozens of papers you might reach a conclusion that one or the other is probably 1-2% more effective in certain conditions but in real world it makes no difference at all, countless other variables make those aforementioned things appear as just useless noise and for this reasons old guys might just tell newbies to just fkn lift weights, eat and rest for a few years first and forget about the rest.
You also have the subjectivists there who claim some new type of bicep exercise combined with some herb caused their arms to blow up two inches in a month. Asking for measurements gets you the same response as from power cable hobbyists "just try it yourself, those guys in lab coats don't know anything about real world".
Lets not be rude. It's an adult community.It's a porn site.
Is this strictly true? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a combination of products, superconducting electromagnets, the accelerator ring, etc, in one 27-kilometre product. I would say that all the scientists studying the effects of the collision of particles are finding it very interesting.

Definition of SCIENCE
knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method; such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : natural science… See the full definitionscience
1. (knowledge from) the careful study of the structure and behaviour of the…Science | Definition, Disciplines, & Facts
Science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws.
Fortunately for all of us, science does not study artifacts, because artifacts are already created on the basis of the knowledge gained by science.
Purists such as Nobel, for example, rejected mathematics as a science, because mathematics operates with pure abstractions and is not strictly formally a science (but it is definitely the highest form of philosophy, but you should ask Bertrand Russell about this).
But, in any case, and practically regardless of the specific definition of science: science provides knowledge about nature and its fundamental laws, engineering turns this knowledge into artifacts, technologies turn artifacts into products accessible to everyone.
And there is nothing in the products themselves that is interesting to science.
This is an area of interest for engineering and sales.
