used to believe that objective measurements alone were all that one
needed, and I still believe that objective measurements can tell us most
of what we need to know about a system or component.

Well, try looking objectively at a chess board at the beginning of a game
and determine who will win - black or white. Objective computers
measurements can't figure out that one either.

That's an absurd argument. We're not talking about predicting the future.

There is a lot in this world that isn't known or understood, trust me.

Why should I trust you?

There are lots of things that are known. One of them is that
our senses are easily fooled. That's why blind tests are valuable.
