. He talked about
rapping the side of a cup made of plastic, and one made of wood, and
determining what kind of sound it made. He argues the plastic cup will
make an unnatural type of sound, unlike the wood material.

You can go back to tin cans tied with strings, for all I care.
Rapping a plastic cup to see what kind of
a sound is made, and using that result to make
universal determination on material efficacy is quite stupid.

But perhaps not quite as stupid as misunderstanding so many basic
things from such a simple premise. Your first misunderstanding; the
experiment to rap the side of a cup was not given as a "universal
determination" of anything. That's YOU that made the "determination".
It was merely as an example of the type of sound that might be produced
by natural and synthetic materials. Secondly, I never said I made that
experiment. If you have evidence that shows the argument is invalid,
provide it. So far, the only intelligent response I've read on the
subject came from Mr. Morein.
You and others have just thrown at me your vigorous assertions about
how "stupid" everything is.
