"most people here can't measure anything, let alone complex problems that well educated designers, engineers, and physicists can't totally explain"

Insightful statement Steve...

We humans seem driven to 'explain' things even if we have to make up the answers. Unlearning that is a crucial step towards becoming a successful Scientist, Engineer or Technician. Knowing what you don't know is knowing far more than most that "know", you know?

I also must admit that I have little patience with "labelers". The folks (not just audiophiles by any means) who believe that knowing a putative name for something means that they understand it. Mmmm, "tube" good, "mass market" bad...

Humans just don't meet Spec. After-all how could we, we ARE the mass market.
