To me it doesn't matter whether we can hear it or not. As
of now there is no predictive theory that yields
quantitative results we could test with experiment anyway.
I want to know whether or not it is a real phenomenon at all.

One of the reasons this issue is of importance to me is that
on the ProAudio mailing list they argue endlessly about
effects that are so small in predicted physical consequence
that they would be swamped by even a pretty darned small
"Doppler distortion" if it existed. If it really does exist
then a whole lot of what they discuss and argue about in
other areas could well be irrelevant. This is not an
unimportant issue to have settled.
