It was the observation and dogged pursuit of detail that
revealed the real truth. This is not the same in magnitude, but similar
in
effect.

And the aviation engineer thought that Japanese zero planes were
aerodynamically impossible.

Don't forget Bumblebees can't fly by modern aerodynamic sciences.

And with these two "citations," we begin now to understand what
really is wrong with the high-end audio realm.

NEITHER of these statement have any truth to them. I would challenge
both Mr. Bromo and Mr. Chelvam to specifically cite the authorative
references that, for example, state:

"Bumblebees can't fly by modern aerodynamic sciences."

Please, Mr. Bromo, show us the collection of modern aerodynamic texts
that state this. And where is the citation about the aerdynamic
engineers who stated the Zero was not "aerodynamically possible?"

This is illustrative of the problem because both of these posters have
quoted nothing more than utterly unsubstantiated urban legend as if
they are definitive statements of physical fact. DId either of them
bother to research these claims to see if they have any validity? Quite
apparently, they have not.

Are either of these posters aware of the fact that NASA has yet to
find definitive proof that the moon is NOT made of green cheese? That
much is absolutely true. Yet we don't see the American Dairy Association
staking claim to our satellite.

Claims like "some engineer said some plane is not aerodynamically
possible" or "modern aerdynamics say bees can't fly" are ways of
assulting science and engineering when science and engineering
don't give people the answers they want to hear, when science and
engineering don't bend and conform to someone's personal agenda.
"Obviously, I'm right," they say, "and since science and engineeering
don't support my view, science and engineering MUST be wrong. See,
they even said bumblbees can't fly."

Never once did they EVER entertain the possibility that their claim
is wrong.
