This statement, all by itself, shows the patent absurdity of "Lords"

There is no "maximum" or "avergae" RMS.

Not quite true. In CEP, for example, one can specify a
window of evaluation and it will report the maximum RMS
value over that width window (50 ms is the default) within
the file.

I see no conflict here. Piece said that there is but a single RMS figure
for a signal computed over the interval. What CEP does is chop the user's
interval into smaller intervals the size of the window, and then report RMS
values for selected windows.

I don't get why people are talking about RMS values in the context of CEP
and normalization when it is so clear that CEP bases normalization on the
largest magnitude any single sample in the user's interval.
