The intended point? GMAB.
1. In the OP, AS asserted that some objectivists relied on articles without seeing if they could be criticized. He asserted some did but AS offered no evidence. He gave a couple of examples, which I showed did not establish his point, since the threads included quite rational criticisms of a DBT run at McGill U.
2. AS showed the URL of an article on meta-analysis, one that is a sort of a good beginning but which has some severe limitations as pointed out by Tony Lauck. AS tried to deny he had any other purpose, in effect denying no. 1 and most of his OP. But it is clear a main purpose was to attack (some) objectivists.
Of course, AS also kept talking about "undesired" results of DBTs, which is the fallacy of poisoning the well, rather than unexpected results. Meanwhile, he persisted in making unjustified and irrelevant personal attacks on me.
So, in fact, I systematically analyzed his OP. Moreover, I did, in fact, find an objectivist who did rely on the superseded article. AS did not, I did.

especially about this one:

It's you against the world Pat. Don't you ever forget it.

You, AS, E-stat, and carcass93 are hardly "the world!" GMAB

It's a world of people discussing differences in sound of the preamps and amplifiers on Amp and Pre asylum. Take a note - differences, not whether differences exist.
It's a world of people discussing differences in sound of transports and DACs in Digital, cables in Cables, computer settings in PC Audio - and so on, and so forth. In general, it's a world of audiophiles, who strive for best sound possible, discussing audiophile matters, and chuckling at few lost anti-audiophiles preaching stagnant mediocrity.
In a forum that's supposed to be audiophile, no less.
It's also nice to be able to recognize them.

Definitely! But what's preferable to illusions is reality, particularly the reality that I'm told has to be illusion. It's a good way to confirm that we don't already know everything there is to know.
kind of pathetic.
Have you ever heard the expression (and its many variations) "its us against the world?" Because once again you missed the point of the barb.
