This is not brain or heart surgery we're involved with, but a path to musical pleasure. An endeavor to lift the spirit. The path of discovery has enough obstacles. Having bystanders on the side of that road jeering and mocking creates unnecessary negativity.Sure. But when one veers off the path of musical pleasure and onto the path of objectivity, the rules of the road are much different. And if one chooses to veer onto the path of objectivity, they ought not get their panties in a bunch when they're held to objective standards.
The problem as I see it is that there are some who wish to get onto the path of objectivity yet expect their objective claims to be as sacrosanct and beyond question or challenge as their subjective experiences.
Can't have it both ways.
If you don't wish to be questioned or challenged, stick to the subjective path. If anyone questions or challenges you there, then the person doing the questioning and challenging is out of line. If you choose to go down the objective path, you should expect and even welcome questioning and challenging of your claims. That's how we get at the truth and separate the wheat from the chaff. Furthermore, you should be prepared to substantiate your claims with objective evidence.
Why does this seem so unreasonable to some?
Another thing I don't understand is why some people get their panties in a bunch just because someone expresses a lack of belief when it comes to actual audible differences? To see the responses from some, you'd think someone had said nasty things about their mothers. If one is confident in their particular beliefs, why would they become defensive simply because someone else believes differently? What is there to take offense of?
