Yeah. You definitely have a point. I just like to hold out hope and continue to offer the other side of the story for those audiophiles who may not know much about how we perceive and remember sound. I do think the fact that how we actually perceive and remember sound is both unobvious and counter intuitive and that contributes a great deal to the mythologies that are so pervasive in high end audio.
Anyone claims they are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and can leap tall buildings in a single bound are laughed at for their confusion between *obvious* reality and comic book fantasy. Audiophile claims of being able to reliably discern small differences in sound under sighted conditions with substantial time gaps between samples is in fact every bit as much of a disconnect between reality and fantasy. It just isn't as obvious that it is just as absurd. I think *that* is a major contributor to the anti-scientific beliefs of many audiophiles and the thing that continually needs to be addressed.
Unfortunately past a certain point the emotional, financial and time investment create a big ego based barrier in learning about and accepting the basic realities of the human auditory system.
