So, they don't like people asking uncomfortable questions they can't answer with scientific testing and logic? That's why they need to be segregated into their own no-go zone?
So be it. Whatever it takes to keep the peace. Let the beheadings begin!
Personally, I'll trust my own ears and keep my opinions to myself unless, of course, I form a cult with like minded zealots and we can stroke each others egos. ...and then we can proselytize to the rest of the world until some kind person offers us refuge. where no discouraging words are allowed.

It's just when you propose to tell others what they should believe, or hear, that problems arise.

Worse, - you're calling them liars.
You're like the Catholic church, if you just looked into Galileos telescope, - you'd see that the sun does NOT revolve around the earth. Except in this case, you're one of the lone reactionaries, (with your eyes closed, and your fingers in your ears: singing LALALALA).

Just my opinion but I think power cables can make a HUGE difference in a system!.. Look at my review over on the cable forum here...
Now I have some idea how much weight I can put in your posts.

I wonder, has anyone in the history of mankind ever used "scientific testing" to ascertain that the *next step* (the step just below the one they're presently standing on in a stairwell) is actually there as it appears to be? Or, do they tend to keep on climbing or descending in faith-based manner?My point is: Nobody bothers to test everything their senses report to them because, most of the time, we can indeed trust our senses. It's only after some crazy person *sees* the step that isn't there and walks into an open stairwell that the "scientific inquiries" might begin...

And many people hear things that aren't so, also.
Asylums are full of them. (see what I did there? ;))
How many illusionists do you think there are, lurking in the shadows waiting to fool us?
Anything's possible, I guess...
Experience tells us that certain things are more likely than others are and that our senses can indeed be trusted, for the most part.
Dunno. Count the hi-bux ads in any number of audio magazines. ;)
How do you know?
Where you there with them, not hearing something that they did?
Do you feel the same way about your sense of sight?

One of the things that I've learned in my Philosophy of Science studies is that you can't "prove" that the wall exists, but you have to behave as though it does. This leads us to the truth that our branch of chimp-hominids still have a lot to learn, and that there are different degrees of "proof." I think sometimes that people get really confused between what they call science, and the application of the scientific method.
