Why is there so much separation between the professional audio and audiophile worlds?

There's a guy sitting on a swivel office chair with a 156-channel mixing console 5 feet deep by 30 feet long and a computer monitor in front of him, and the geniuses at Stereophile wonder why there isn't more in common with the audiophile with 2 channels, one fixed chair, and nothing no lights or anything in front of him. Genius. Not. Couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. 

And where did this nonsense about recording engineers being neutral transcribers come from anyway? Music is art sculpted with sound. That's what the performer does in the studio. That is what the engineers do with it. And that is what we do with it. The idea of any of this being somehow objectively neutral can only have been cooked up by measurebators drunk on their own cool-aid.
