Where have all the 'borgs gone?

There are no Borgs, idiot, that was a TV show creation.

All that's left is the feeble-minded Mikey
Bug-Eater. Much to my amazement, some Normals continue to "debate" with
Mickey about the value of aBxism. I don't think Mickey will ever
understand what's being said to him.

You'd like to believe that wouldn't you?
Believe? It's impossible to ignore. On this newsgroup, r.a.o. we have had
many obnoxious people, but you are the first who is actually mentally weak.

But even if you believe he is smart
enough to grasp it, in the end it's not a question of understanding but
of
religious devotion.


Correct the anti-ABXers are religiously devoted to the idea that ABX aka,
science, is a lie, or that it is useless to consumers. Why the idea of
trying to remove bias from listening comparisons bothers you zealots so
much
is beyond me, but it is clear that you are scared ****less, that the idea
either has or is about to catch on.

Catch on? It's hard enough to find a hifi store, let alone one of Arny's
decayed boxes.

With other 'borgs, like Ferstler and Dickless, the agenda is overt: They
rail against the high prices of high-end audio. Their snarling hatred of
Stereophile encapsulates their class warfare agenda. They don't try to
animate the lifeless corpse of aBxism as a smokescreen. Even the
Terrierborg has the honesty to admit that he resents the "elitist" aura
of
high-end audio.


I resent the way they dance around pretending they are supporting some
alternate view that there is some way to evaluate audio gear that is more
fair, honest or relaible than a DBT. They are of course lying.

Don't take it so personally, Mikey. You're stupid.

Why, one wonders, do They resent high-end audio so much?

An equally valid question is, why you are so bothered by us?
Mikey, you are not one of "them".
Arny is a reasonably talented workaday engineer. Ferstler has great
lungpower.
You are not on their level. I wouldn't hire you to clean my office.

On the one hand you try to demean what we say and who we are, but on the
other, you rail against us as if it were life and death.

Arny has been damaging to the hobby. Ferstler, ditto. You are just a
nusiance.


These uneducated,
uncomprehending curs slobber their devotion to "science" while making
mistake after mistake whenever they try to talk the talk.

That's what you want people to think, fortunately not enough people are
buying into your paranoia.

The consumers are using their ears, not ABX. So we won.

There was a time
when home audio really was a do-it-yourself hobby. We also had to grow
our
own food once, and make our own clothes. Now we buy audio equipment. Why
can't the 'borgs be happy that they can buy very good performance at low
prices? Why do they so resent the very existence of high-priced stuff?


Nobody resents that some people make really expensive stuff, we do resent
that they make unscientific claims that they perform better. We also
resent,as any rational person would, that there is a fair amount of snake
oil, that gets a pass from the folks over at SP, which explains why we
don't
like them very much.

They will tell Normals that They don't care about prices, that what They
hate is the "claims". Riiiiight. Let's pretend nobody ever exaggerates
the
supposed benefits of their products in order to sell them. Let's pretend
all "claims" offered for consumer goods are fully tested and documented
for absolute "accuracy". How about "fat-free" foods that aren't really
free of fat? How about "clean" fuels that still cause pollution? How
about
"quick acting" pain pills that take 20 minutes to work?


But alt least fat free food is in fact food. Mpingo disks, clairifiers,
etc. do nothing, period.

We wish Arny's ABX box did as little to the sound as the above.

The reality is that "tests" are meaningless for consumers.

The reality is tests can help those who want the best possible evidence on
the gear they are considering.

Currently, ABX misleads.

They don't help
people. If you want to believe they are valuable, that's your privilege,
but you're indulging in religious faith, not undertaking a "scientific"
experiment. It's my personal opinion that if you can't distinguish an
audible difference from a preference based on some other criterion, you
probably lie to yourself about a lot of other stuff too. But lying
counts
for nothing for 'borgs, since they're engaged in a holy war, and Their
end
justifies (for Them) any and all means they can think of.


I thnk we can all tell who is doing the lying George.
Give it up, you lost.

George is celebrating our victory. Consumers do not use ABX, and we intend
it will stay this way.
