I can give you some real history references if you need them. The early church never believed in anything other than a spherical earth. This was establish well by the Greeks and was carried though the middle ages. Hopefully, you haven't taught your children (or anybody else) this misconception.

''The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century.''
It's the brainwashed and preconceived model of digital audio replay that I have been on about! This wsas how Thatcherism was called 'conviction' politics.
Your wrote "(hint: religious conviction in the of the middle ages)"Because you wrote this, I answered the way I did. If you want to forget the middle ages and find a time when the earth was thought to be flat by a majority then that is a different subject. Just try to stay on track.
"there never was a period of 'flat earth darkness' among scholars (regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now). Greek knowledge of sphericity never faded, and all major medieval scholars accepted the Earth's roundness as an established fact of cosmology."Historians of science David Lindberg and Ronald Numbers point out that "there was scarcely a Christian scholar of the Middle Ages who did not acknowledge [Earth's] sphericity and even know its approximate circumference".

I have zero interest in arguing about the exact historical period. I am just interested in highlighting your refusal to acknowledge the effect of buffers on SQ, and your 'conviction' approach to PC audio.
Carry on arguing but I will not respond further.
we should get back on track.
