Are Audiophiles "Simply Guessing?"

As I said, this is something I came upon. I find his video discussion interesting, but flawed. 

The comment section below Beato's YouTube Video is interesting and has some valuable contributions.

It does (for me) raise the question as to where each of our personal limits are and whether our limits should be driving our equipment and system choices?

Also that ’Mastery’ is more than simply deliberate practice (aka the 10K Hours Rule / Malcomb Gladwell).

If we were to follow Gladwell, many audiophiles would be experts given the amount of time spent listening. One problem with this is that technology is marching on and keeping up with it, even within our very specific hobby, isn’t as feasible or as practical as some believe it to be.

Could Incremental Improvements in High-End Audio Sound Quality Ever Hit a Brick Wall?

"Would audiophile marketers even know how to approach a product that didn't promise sonic improvements? I doubt it. Continuous sonic improvements have driven the industry forward."
