Snip...


I read with interest your erudite and well- written message. I fear
that it will fall on deaf ears.
You're not in the sphere of rational argument.. You're dealing with
magical thinking. Like this: "I learnt at school that there is an
equation for auditory wave progression - so there must be a formula for
deciding which component will play my music best."
Hurrah I found it.. It is called ABX. It confirms that differences I
have never been able to hear do not exist. This makes me feel good. I
always knew those golden ears were just trying to put me down.
Now I can show them what science is. I'll go to my Public Library get a
string of references with "audio" or "listening" in the title and call
them "scholarly references to ABX" No mention of ABX in them? Who is
checking?"

Before I replied to the original post I did a Google search on the first
listed reference in that post and ended up on an ABX web page. Not only was
that reference there but the entire list - he obviously just copied and
pasted from the ABX page. Why trek all the way down to the Public Library
and actually do some independent research when the ABXers have already done
the research for him?
