How can it? If A=B and C=D then (A+C) = (B+D) = (A+D) = (B+C)

There are no degrees of "No Difference."


I don't think you believe that. There are rounding errors. A human cannot
detect a volume difference of .001 dB. That should be obvious. Increment
it 10,000 times, and just as obviously, humans can detect it. That was an
extreme example.
