"HE2005: The Great Debate".

It is clear now that this public debate organized by John
Atkinson was a complete flop. John Atkinson has failed, his
invitation was a gamble, he played, he lost. His fault ?
IMHO hubris only !...

Lionel,
I'm not sure I have ever been informed of your philosophical position.
Do you sympathize with Arny in an absolute way, or as a choice relative to
the attitudes found in Stereophile? Or are you primarily defending Arny from
attacks you feel are unfair?

If you were to take photographs of my systems, you would see much of
what you might find in Arny Krueger's systems; cheap interconnects, cost
efficient components, etc. The reason I am opposed to Krueger is much for
the same reason that the French Terror is regarded with horror; so many
possibilities, as well as some truths, are attacked by Arny's broad assault.
The second reason is that Arny uses unfair tactics, such as making an
interpretation of another person's post, and proclaiming that it is the
other person's statement.

I also disagree with Arny's testing methodology. And yet, we have made
so many choices that are similar.

If our particular outrages were combined, the belief would be that both
Arny and George share the Marxist idea, "The end justifies the means."
