Unless, of course, you prefer to wander about the corridors aimlessly for decades, using random turns to guide you....as opposed to looking up, and seeing the sign pointing to the exit..That's been my biggest complaint about "high end" in general...all random...random fixes, random tweaks, random explanations for a random tweak producing a difference...
For the bulk of society, you are correct...nobody knows, nobody cares...turn the damn key, it goes...if it don't, "it bwoken"...
Same with computers...nobody cares about the low level machine code within the cpu....they just need it to work...period. If it's "bwoken", call in da guy who "UN-BWEAKS" it...
That is not me...If the reason can be found, a solution will follow..
I refuse to accept "well, it works"....If someone wants to believe that the reason it sounds better is because the tape on the cord is blue instead of red, fine...let them.. soon, a cottage industry in blue tape will crop up...along with a "blue tape asylum".
Unfortunately, it does nothing to advance the state of the art..
Cheers, John
