Cable Snake Oil Antidote

"Even Theil (sic) went out of business." Classic disiformation in the context of this discussion. Thiel went out of business because after Jim Thiel died his partner cashed in by selling to a group of clueless financial investors who summarily discarded Jim’s time-aligned coherent source designs to pursue "me too" products aimed at the Lifestyle audio market.

The misuse of this tragedy to further an argument against superior speaker designs is another glaring example of a know--it-all distorting facts to further a flawed conclusion.

The fact that the author of that mistruth even spelled the company’s name incorrectly speaks volumes about the credibility of his assertions here on Audiogon.

@geoffkait -  Excellent quotes!

I thought so. 😛

as expected from Mr. Kait, the Feynman quote is incorrect.

Feynman said “I think I can safely say that nobody understands
quantum mechanics.”

I was paraphrasing, Mr. Smarty Pants. His actual quote is,

“It requires a much higher degree of imagination to understand the electromagnetic field than to understand invisible angels. … I speak of the E and B fields and wave my arms and you may imagine that I can see them … [but] I cannot really make a picture that is even nearly like the true waves.”

Besides, Feynman said a lot of things. Perhaps more relevant to the current case is this zinger,

“They wouldn’t have given me the Nobel Prize if I could explain it to the average person.”
