You've missed the point. I don't discount subjective evaluation but view it as just one part of evaluation. I listen to things subjectively also, but I don't dismiss objective evaluation in spite of it. Can the inverse be true as well? :)
A subjective evaluation doesn't necessarily define a situation that inspires/requires further objective testing to find the reason. (That thinking is where you run off on a tangent.)
Some (not all) subjective evaluations regarding certain components and/or conclusions can be immediately rejected because of various reasons. Maybe physical laws are being broken.....maybe Ohm's Law is being broken.....maybe a misunderstanding of how a voltage source works.....etc, etc. When I see a conclusion that would require one of those things to happen, I raise my eyebrow.
I believe Ric hears a difference with inductor connection direction. The issue is how he explains it.
When I see statements like "the only real knowledge is listening," there's not much to do but shake my head. Statements like that indicate a closed mind.....yet in this particular thread it's funny because I'll be the one accused of closed-mindedness. How surreal is that? :)
Cheers,
Dave.
