I don’t discourage blind testing, by the way. But neither have I adopted it as a religion or accepted it as my personal savior.
This has nothing to do with science, but more to do with faith.Agreed!
One group is honest with itself and does not rely on the "faith" that they are infallible, while the other group does. No more, no less.True, to a point. The Naysayer Doctrine (the measurementalist approach) does very much acknowledge that we humans are fallible and our senses prone to deception. Good for you! But then the measurementalists insist the doctrine is perfect and infallible; hence, those in conflict with the doctrine are labeled as deluded, insane, confused, stupid, and the like.
You can special plead science that does not exist, or not. It really does not matter.Call it what you like, but it does clearly matter very, very much to you. That’s consistent with your evangelism and why you’ve made more than 80 posts here since joining just a week ago. And it’s why you’ve been banned from the group multiple times under your previous user names. Your proselytizing insults really get old.
You can’t honestly mean "trust you ears" while you discourage blind testing. You are being dishonest with yourself and other audiophiles.There’s another example of how those who claim science and reason as being on their side commit some of the most confounding acts of ill logic along the way.
