Prove it.


I already did.


Yes, he did it by means of that well known subjectivist debating trade
tool - the unsupported assertion. That's a close relative of their other
absolute standard of proof, namely an assertion supported only by the
agreement of a large number of know-nothing adherents.

I doubt it. No one has been able to show that they can
hear a difference if measurements predict that no
differences will be detected.


Actually, just about every reviewer in every high end audio ragazine *shows*
in every review (by means of unsupported assertion) that they can hear a
difference even if measurements predict that no differences will be
detected.

But since you claim that
you do have superior hearing, please go to
rec.audio.high-end to arrange a double-blind test with
the objectivists at that forum.


Just about every subjectivist on every audio forum *shows* in every post (by
means of unsupported assertion) that DBTs are an invalid means of evaluation
because they desensitize the listener.

On RAO we've even got subjectivists that will, at the drop of a question
*show* in every post (by means of unsupported assertion) that any kind of
test whether blind or sighted is an invalid means of evaluation because they
don't exactly duplicate normal listening as they perceive it.

It's really pretty simple - make unsupported assertions your highest
standard of proof, and the world is your oyster. Just open it and slurp it
up! ;-)
