Yes. Clearly your ears are "measuring" *it* just by hearing *it.* So
yours
is
an inherently true claim.
Since it would be a tautology if you interpret it that way, and since he's
not
stupid or "master of the obvious", we can conclude he didn't mean it that
way.
You can make those conclusions based on your assumed premises.
They're not mere assumptions.
Indeed, they are highly suspect assumptions.
If we can
hear something it can be measured by equipment that is known to be more
sensitive than the human auditory system. That doesn't mean it *is* being
measured in the hobby of audio.
"Sensitive" is a questionable word, but basically I couldn't agree more.
