snip, to avoid repetition of my original post

May I suggest reading the NY Times article about human perception found
off a link in the recently posted thread about what magic has to teach
audiophiles. Your speculation might then take another direction. In
short, the brain makes it up as it goes along regarding decoding sensory
input on a second to second basis and sums it all up by mashing it into
stored models of information and expectation that is its own creation by
which to make sense of the world. In other words, its easy to trick
perception.


And may I ask you how you manage to listen to music or validly critique a
music-reproduction system without relying on perception?

It's not so much an issue of having perceptions, as what claims are made
based on them.
