John:"And as I believe, Mike is alluding to the fact that JR is indeed showing that behavior here...with respect to one particular cable type, twisted pairs.."
That's not my read of Jon's posts at all. I don't hear him saying that the science is perfect and that there is nothing to discover.
Actually, I took exception to Mike's statements like:
"This statement is incorrect. There is a large body of work in the medical field that has determined the frequency range we can hear, the minimum SPL we can detect, the minimum change in SPL we can detect, the loudest sounds before damage is done, our sensitivity to harmonics, and the list goes on. We know the capabilities of the ear."
THIS sounds remarkably like declaring an end to an avenue of science, and setting up the premise that anyone who finds evidence to contradict the established wisdom is a heretic.
BTW, I used the religious connotation deliberately -- this sort of thinking smacks of dogma and belief, not open-minded exploration.
At least Einstein knew that he would eventually be proven wrong....
