In Reply to: I didn't demand anything. posted by jsm on March 10, 2007 at 11:55:55:
By saying "If you doubt that a CD-R would the accuracy or capability of making a copy of sufficient quality for this test, I would say you just have not heard how good a CD-R of a record can be" (and that is an exact, word for word quote just copied and pasted) you are asserting that anyone who does not believe a CD-R measures up to the standard required for the test is wrong. Your opinion, as you have stated, is that they are up to the requisite standard but you dismiss the opinions of those who might think otherwise by saying that they "…ust have not heard how good a CD-R of a record can be".That's where you demand that others accept your opinion while not accepting theirs. Your demand is implicit, not explicit, but it is there.
Why should I believe that your suggested test will produce an accurate result? What proof have you that your test is reliable? You offered it as a suggestion but offer no basis for believing that it is capable of doing what you want it to do.
I'm quite happy to accept the results of a valid test, but I would like a reasonable account of what makes the test valid and some evidence that the assumptions made in its design have been tested and found reasonable. You offer a suggestion off the top of your head and believe that it will do the job perfectly. I've actually designed and conducted a study to test a hypothesis in the health sciences and I can tell you that getting your test design up to a decent enough standard for people to give the results some credence requires a lot more work than an off the top of your head suggestion based on your own personal opinions.
