Where have all the 'borgs gone? All that's left is the feeble-minded Mikey
Bug-Eater. Much to my amazement, some Normals continue to "debate" with
Mickey about the value of aBxism. I don't think Mickey will ever
understand what's being said to him. But even if you believe he is smart
enough to grasp it, in the end it's not a question of understanding but of
religious devotion.

With other 'borgs, like Ferstler and Dickless, the agenda is overt: They
rail against the high prices of high-end audio. Their snarling hatred of
Stereophile encapsulates their class warfare agenda. They don't try to
animate the lifeless corpse of aBxism as a smokescreen. Even the
Terrierborg has the honesty to admit that he resents the "elitist" aura of
high-end audio.

Why, one wonders, do They resent high-end audio so much? These uneducated,
uncomprehending curs slobber their devotion to "science" while making
mistake after mistake whenever they try to talk the talk. There was a time
when home audio really was a do-it-yourself hobby. We also had to grow our
own food once, and make our own clothes. Now we buy audio equipment. Why
can't the 'borgs be happy that they can buy very good performance at low
prices? Why do they so resent the very existence of high-priced stuff?

They will tell Normals that They don't care about prices, that what They
hate is the "claims". Riiiiight. Let's pretend nobody ever exaggerates the
supposed benefits of their products in order to sell them. Let's pretend
all "claims" offered for consumer goods are fully tested and documented
for absolute "accuracy". How about "fat-free" foods that aren't really
free of fat? How about "clean" fuels that still cause pollution? How about
"quick acting" pain pills that take 20 minutes to work?

The reality is that "tests" are meaningless for consumers. They don't help
people. If you want to believe they are valuable, that's your privilege,
but you're indulging in religious faith, not undertaking a "scientific"
experiment. It's my personal opinion that if you can't distinguish an
audible difference from a preference based on some other criterion, you
probably lie to yourself about a lot of other stuff too. But lying counts
for nothing for 'borgs, since they're engaged in a holy war, and Their end
justifies (for Them) any and all means they can think of.
