I think it is a pretty darned good reason. This is a hobby of
aesthetics. If one doesn't like the aesthetic then one has a pretty
good reason to diss.


It is also a field of science and engineering. *Controlled studies
(see Toole's book for a review) have shown that multichannel
recordings are more accurate and believable conveyors of the original
event.

Now, if you don't like 'em, that's OK. *OTOH, you have no data or
science that validates your preference, so your 'dissing' doesn't rise
to more than a personal preference.


Huh? Preferences need data and science to be valid? Mine seem to work
just fine for me without any scientific validation.
