I know where you are coming from! I also take issue with personal preferences and experiences being promoted an absolute; qualitative as quantitative... as subjective Truths.That is not to say for a moment that I think the subjective and qualitative is unimportant - it is very important to audio if you do it for others' (and your own) enjoyment.
Misrepresented "facts", intentional or not, are open for discussion and debate. I have called out Jeff and Dennis on occasion and may again. If I do, I hope I won't make it personal, a pissing contest, or gloat if I score a win (not saying you are, BTW). The moment I do this I am part of the problem: distracting the discussion and confusing the issue, adopting logical fallacies, being generally unconstructive and affecting people in a hurtful way... at that point it becomes more about my personal neediness, not any positive outcome.
In closing, I think Jeff and Dennis are two guys I'd really quite like. Yeah, they occasionally say things, they seem a little out there at times, and their passion appears to lead to an exaggerated emphasis on certain things, but hell, I like their genuine passion and resolve. Ans so what, compared my own crap, theirs is minimal! We are all imperfect - I try to remember that and keep my self-righteousness in check.
Cheers,
Raymond
