Snake oil, fraud, confirmation bias


It is becoming increasingly apparent that many threads about legitimate topics devolve into one or more of the contributors here making claims of snake oil, fraud, or confirmation bias thereby derailing the conversation beyond the valid and relevant thread topic and this is getting ridiculous. For anyone here who honestly holds the position that there is snake oil and fraud in the world of Music Reproduction Systems I challenge them to prove their claims in court it should be an easy task based on the claims they make here in Audiogon  AND they will make a fortune because in the US once proven they can file a class action suit and profit enormously from the efforts of others to deceive. These people regularly claim that "there is no evidence" that things such as cables or fuses make a difference when in actual fact Audiogon is filled with evidence that these things make very real differences in Music Reproduction Systems of course those who claim fraud reject that evidence as "confirmation bias" but in absence of any documentation from them they are only repeating the claim they have made so many times that has been refuted many times here by those who have demonstrated to there satisfaction that they make a difference.   I think in actual truth the real fraudsters here are those that repeatedly make these claims of snake oil and fraud and often they have no experience to back up there claims they simply say the claims are impossible!

@kosst_amojan   WOW!  The will of God is very clear to you?  You actually presume that you as a man, a creation of God, with the finite mind that God gave you, can comprehend the infinite intellect of God?

By definition that is impossible. Too creepy for me.  Please seek help.

@kosst_amojan  When does God make his intentions known?  Delusions of grandeur?  I hope you get to the point that you are able to realize your need for help.  All the best, sincerely!

*sigh*  The 'tempest in a tea cup' continues....on and on, anon....

One of the 'function' keys on the typ. keyboard needs an app that makes "IMHO" appear....because most of the 'sturm und drang' that appears whenever an OP launches into a 'controversy' over 'something' that's stepped on their tail by 'someone' posting 'something' that's contrary to their 'HO'....

This activity reminds me of what would occur if one were to affix the tails of 2 cats together in some fashion, and suspend them from a 'clothesline'....for those of us who remember such an item....a 'clothesline', just to be clear....

(Please note:  I do not recommend, nor approve of such treatment of felines, and will call the authorities if I witness such behaviour.  It's an 'analogy'.  If you don't recognize the word, look it up.)

Now, I suspect that many of 'us' simply like to view the 'push/pull' of such seemingly endless forums as a version of 'cheap thrills', a 'slow motion car wreck' of sorts.  I used to be of that audience.  "Let's watch these fools fight over the quantity of angels on a pin head!"

Now...I'm just bored.

In the future...(how about tomorrow?)...post your 'grievance', supply an address to another site (preferably far from here) and have your online version of a back alley confrontation Elsewhere.

Yes, I can and will go 'elsewhere', having delivered 'MHO'.

To paraphrase an old McDonalds' ad line, "You deserve a brick today."

Consider it delivered.  I'll send you the bill....;)
