First, I want to make it clear that no where did I say that all "scientist are corrupt".You did make an awesome point. The beginning of the end for the legitimacy of the current generation of psychotropics came about 35 years ago when clinical trial design and execution moved from the hands of academic scientists and universities to the hands of corporate scientists and for profit businesses and their minions, the paid psychiatrists (oh boy, here I go again, let the next onslaught begin). At that point, science went right out the window.
For the most part, I have the utmost respect for academic scientists but am always suspicious of corporate scientists and despise most psychiatrists (there are exceptions but they are very hard to find these days). Believe me, I know. I spent my entire career in the implantable medical device industry. I almost got fired on numerous occasions taking an uncompromising stand for quality against the managers, bean counters and corporate. For God's sake, we're dealing with lives here!
With that said, I am a firm believer in psychologists, therapists, counselors and alternative healers (at times I must suspend my logical mind) and the various modern talk therapies. Two of my all time favorite people and the reason I am alive today, are two very fine psychologists.
So thank you for pointing out that difference for others who may not be as knowledgable.

I never claim you had said that "all scientists are corrupt"; in fact, I said the following: "To dismiss all of science, as some do (I'm not saying you do, just to be clear), because of flaws in the system is convenient. "
Now, once we solve all of the worlds problems, you think we can get to the difficult stuff, like how to improve a soundstage? Or, actually, back to the original post: how does the restored piano sound, especially compared to modern pianos?
"I am familiar with the issues you raise. I agree with most of what you said, but don't accept the argument that scientist are corrupt."
LOL, you are a good man. Yes, see other parts of this thread to feel my frustration.
It's not often I get to have a discussion like this with someone as intelligent as you and I'm enjoying myself. I don't care what anyone else thinks.
But yes, let's give it a rest. I've got to go anyway.
Thank you again from taking the time out of your busy schedule to have this conversation with me. I've learned a lot.
