Robert "bad science" Morein said:

"Recently, I posted a speculation that skin effect and nonlinear
dielectric
performance are responsible for a difference in sound between two short

interconnects that were demonstrated to me by a friend. While I still
believe that the difference in sound is real, my speculation as to the
cause
has resulted in considerable rebuttal, much of it well-founded."

IOW my original statement was correct.

"Many, if not most, participants, find rec.audio.opinion useful to
their
psyches as a way that they can posture, puff-up, and dominate, relying
on
their overblown egos when argumentation pulls the floor from under
their
feet."


Speak for yourself. You can not speak for anyone else or their
motives. I believe we should regard the above as confessional.
Hopefully it helps you to come clean.

Did you consider the reality of oxide build-up?

"Naturally, my ego is slightly bruised that I made an assertion, with
respect
to the skin effect, and I could not make it stick. However, I'm at
least
slightly proud that I can offer something seldom seen on
rec.audio.opinion:
a retraction."

You should be getting used to by now, this is certainly not the first
time you've been shown to be wrong about your version of "science."
