Same old, same old

Despite the fact that it has been explained many times, and that the only scientific way to interpret nulls that have no controls for test sensitivity is that they are inconclusive, you insist on equating any null results to a bona-fide negative.

Null results do not mean that there were no audible differences, and have very little actual meaning, other than a lack of some sort of defined (statistically significant, etc.) positive result. Period.

Yet the naysayers continue to habitually make the equation of a null to a negative, usually based on pretty lousy tests that are highly suspect in the first place.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they are spinning the 'results' to make them appear to back up their POV.

I honestly believe that your own exposure to this propoganda and subsequent 'eqo-crushing', has made you way too suspicious of your own ability to hear subtle audio changes, as it tends to do for those exposed to these kinds of quack ABX listening tests, and you have swallowed the ABX propoganda hook-line-and-sinker. Thus everyone else must also be 'deluding themselves'. Then you evangelize over the issue, and try to convince other people that they can not hear audio sonics either.

The real question is: Who are the ones deluding themselves? The ABX naysayers, or the folks listening for subtle audio sonics?
