Your analysis and post was well put IMO.

These events are social events, - but the "social" part should be reserved for the lobbies, record/CD buying rooms, the bars, or elevators, - anywhere except the listening room.

One wise manufacturer at CES would pause the music if people began speaking during the listening sessions; a good idea.

    Can you imagine?

    "Best in Show" or "A Mighty Wind," - docu-comedy by Chitopher Guest about Audiophiles at a HES type show?

    That would so rock!! John Goodman to play Big Andy?

      Great idea! Chris Guest's work on Spinal Tap also proves his bona fides for this job. Particularly enjoyed the title of Spinal Tap's second album: "Break Like the Wind."
