Vintage tubes - facts, science, technology & empirical evidence VS. marketing, myth & hypeOne of the BIGGEST myths that is prevalent today is that " science, technology & empirical evidence..." have all the answers. It Doesn’t! The title alone comes from that very thought. Whether you actually believe it is yet to be seen. But it is interesting how you juxtapose science, technology & empirical evidence against marketing, myth & hype as if science, technology & empirical evidence have none of that. Meanwhile those who tell us to trust the science have little or no scientific enquiry to back up their daily propaganda.
Please pardon my skepticism. You may indeed be looking for TRUTH. But truth is ascertained by the use of intellect AND the use of our senses which give the intellect the necessary information for what we hear, see, small, etc. Then there is the idea that FACTS & Science give us very little usable info until they are interpreted. And there is the rub. Who’s interpretation shall we use? Especially pertenant in any conversation about music & hearing which is among the most subjective subjects on the planet.
I doubt this is what you expected. But it is worth considering. This is especially true of scientific enquiry into subjective subjects and expecting hard and fast facts. That ain't happening
