"Reflections off hard surfaces invert the phase of sound waves." Really?!

Stanley Lipshitz would beg to differ with you -- and I have it from him in writing!

"Yet another reason why even the concept of absolute polarity in recorded music is meaningless." Substitute the *opposite* word -- "meaningful" -- and my out-of-phase antagonist would have it right. Al last.

Ask him about reflections off openings in the room... - truthseekerprime 12:16:39 06/05/07 (5)
...and if you didn't know they existed, learn something about waves.
- That wasn't the topic and you know it. You were WRONG; admit it, don't weasel out. - clarkjohnsen 12:23:26 06/05/07 (4)
  You say you seek the truth, but when you find it contradicts your views you change the subject.

    ...did you bother to read anything I wrote? Yes, I was wrong about that, and I admitted it already. I based it on a major physics website which was flat-out incorrect. After being challenged on it, I though about it, checked a more authoritative reference, realized my error, and posted a correction. If you'd like I'll explain why the error was probably made in the first place, but I'm sure you're not interested.
    
    You see (unlike some people) I make mistakes occasionally, and even learn from them. You might find it useful to think about that - but I know you won't.
    - "Did you bother to read anything I wrote?" Regrettably, yes. - clarkjohnsen 12:54:30 06/05/07 (1)
      The most obstreperous, boring... But indeed, a couple of hours ago, buried down in the thread, was your admission.

        he could admit an error. I do not recall any incident where you have admitted an error, and even pointing out an error in spelling got a vigorous defense.
        On the subject of polarity, you have been your worse enemy, making an admission that polarity is audible a stigma upon the person admitting that he can hear it. A bit of humility and a bit of cooperation would advance the issue a lot further. A good dialogue, rather than one liners, would further the understanding also. If you can not or choose not to engage in a serious dialogue, then no advancement is really possible. Name calling and insults are no way to stage a dialogue.
        
        I find Truthseeker to be much more open minded and open to new ideas than many others. He will go much further than you ever will to establish the audibility of polarity.
        
        That is the pitiful reality of your attempt at arguments. And that view is shared by many, many others.
