I order to expect, one has to know.

Well, there's 'knowing' things that are true, and 'knowing' things that aren't.

for instance, i'd suspect you not to expect
your blood composition to be influenced by sunspot activity
tiz so, though


And you 'know' this , how?

or, say, the _type of nervecell_ terminating determining the
structural processing hardware that is developed in a brain region
(if we could emulate that, miraculous advances in artificial hearing
and vision await

I've done some work in neuroscience myself, so I think I can
*expect* neuronal architecture to be affected by the neuronal
milieu.


As mentioned before, until a true multidisciplinary approach is taken,
all the 'blameless, good, etc' claims are suspect.


Which disciplines besides psychoacoustics, acoustics, and engineering
do you propose be included to support claims of audible difference?
