So who is the real fraud. Arny, who has been claiming for years that his
ABX
test proved that people can't hear things and then he pontificates that
he
always knew that he couldn't prove a negative or myself who gives a
detailed
mathematical reasons for why Arny's test doesn't work.

You can't defeat religious faith with logic or science. Call a 'borg a
'borg.

I hate to disagree George but Arny's response is not religious. It is rather
common among engineers and even more so around technicians. It is not
unusual for technical people to have their egos tide up with tech knowledge.
Attack that knowledge, you attack their soul, what it is that makes them,
them. Many cases they are right, but they're wrong too. The problem comes in
that when there is a technical debate, when the argument gets heavy they
take it to personnel and much to seriously.
My view is simple, it is a hobby, enjoy yourself. I can't tell you what to
feel, I can only give you my technical opinion based on my background. It is
up to you to make any decision you want that makes you happy.
I will give you my opinion and you will give yours and we will agree to
disagree. If you treat people respectfully you rarely run into much
problems.
However there are some that their egos are to wrapped up in the issue and no
politeness or fair treatment will cause them to act reasonability. There are
individuals like this on both sides but unfortunately they more common on
the technical side.
