Why ask Why? How much advanced technology was poo-pooed by those who weren't "in the know"? There are thousands, if not millions of examples. Nicoli Tesla, Ben Franklin, Stanley Steamer, Wright Brothers, anyone?
Patents once protected the inventor. Today, they are absurdly expensive and basically worthless. A little wrinkle here, or there and one can get around a patent. So, mums the word makes perfect sense.
The fact that some are all too happy to insert foot-in- mouth without having tried the item or technology (in this case the Teleportaion) that they are quick to ridicule makes them the fool, not those willing to accept that they need not know why, as long as it works, or that in the course of any hobby, one must be willing to experiment in order to advance the art.
Anyone who has been a hi-end enthusiast for more than 10 years has most likely drunk someone's cool-aid. I offer as example unbalanced circuit designs, RCA connection/connectors, lack of remote polarity control, and IEC power connections as accepted examples of inferior technologies still be employed by a plethora of supposedly hi-end audio manufacturers.
