it's the never-ending DBT debate from a bunch of idiots whose objectivist opinions are constantly stated as though they're facts.

The forum in question is rec.audio.opinion, which contains a wide variety of posts from all kinds of people. Certainly there are nutcases on both sides of the issue, and both nutcase sides are well represented there, as well as many positions in between. The original post in that thread, to which I replied, was from John Atkinson. Its subject was the very one you brought up yourself upstream in this thread, and John was the one who brought it up there.

So if you didn't want this particular cable test discussed, you shouldn't have brought it up. It appears to me that it's not the subject itself you wish to avoid (since you brought it up yourself), but views that oppose your own. Not my problem.

If anybody knows any details of the protocol of that test that were left out by Gomes, I'd be interested in hearing more about it - but probably in a separate thread, maybe in a different forum. I remain open-minded about it. As I mentioned in my usenet post, very little information is provided - not enough to reach a conclusion one way or the other.
