Care to provide examples where differences are not measureable?
When you don't know what to measure - or are measuring the wrong things.
And I predicted someone would retort in this fashion, several days ago.
Thanks for proving me right.

Are you suggesting we should not worry about people measuring everything that
matters or failing to measure everything that matters?
Hardly. I am suggesting that a common subjectivist
reaction to measurement-based claims of 'no audible difference' is that
the wrong thing has been measured. Bromo was kind enough to also allude
to the *other* standby, namely, 'there are things science can't measure
(optional: yet)'.
The first could be true, but without some viable suggestion for
what the 'right thing' might be, it's hand-waving. The second is a
truism, but again, where's the independent evidence or argument-from-data
to believe it's true in *this* case?
