• What "lack of consistency"? - Caymus 15:54:37 04/03/06 (14)
  In Reply to: I've pointing out the lack of consistency in your public statements ... apparently you prefer to not discuss. nt posted by bjh on April 3, 2006 at 05:01:52:

  The blind tests were inspired by that very audition but done later since I needed time to prepare and design the tests. Get it?

  If you disagree with someone's opinion, why do you always need to degrade your posts with personal attacks? Be secure with your personal opinions – contrary views are not a threat.

      without any evidence at all. Caymus pointed out you made a mistake but you're not man enough to admit it.

        to take it seriously.

        http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=general&n=327701&highlight=silver+Caymus&r=&session=

        If you examine these you'll find some interesting stuff, such as:

        1) In his zeal to disclaim cable differences he explicitly holds himself up as case of one easily tricked by the power of suggestion, i.e. the suggestion that silver is bright.

        This is somewhat novel in my experience, what would we call it?, perhaps the I'm an impressionable weakling, so thus must you also be strategy?

        BTW, if we accept the evidence (the posts) as multiple independent instances then clearly we could conclude that on multiple occasions he had perceived (sighted) silver cables to be bright, and given his knowledge that he fails to observe the effect in blind tests, that he represents a rather extreme case of susceptibility to suggestion ... why one imagines that one need only whisper silver into his ear to witness a system instantaneously transform to bright sounding.

        2) He describes instances of playing tricks on his friends, secretly enjoying proving to himself their susceptibility to suggestion.

        Add to that he can be counted on to produce the "evidence of scam" cheap innuendo post, e.g:

        http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=general&n=325942&highlight=silver+Caymus&r=&session=

        and finally any number of typical the ranting naysayer vents his spleen missives and I'd say I'm comfortable with my conclusions.

        However, that *you* would see it differently is hardly a surprise!

          We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. When we point out that human perception is unreliable for small differences, we are accused of exempting ourselves. When we point out that we are subject to the same sorts of biases in sighted listening, we are then called "one easily tricked by the power of suggestion," in your own words. Well, self-knowledge is a good thing . . .

          Tricks works and there are reasons for this, as magicians know. Making judgmental comments doesn't take those reasons away, for you or anyone else. His tricks work because people tend to overdetect differences, and whining that he played tricks doesn't change that. They just illustrate it.

          BTW, it seems obvious that his remarks relate to more than one incident.

                  and one problem is that you seem to think that is a valid argument. You also distract from the issue--where in this thread did I attack your integrity? Answer: I didn't (I didn't offer any opinion on that!).

          Your bizarre personal attacks are becoming way too emotional and desperate. You are putting *way* too much effort into trashing me. This can’t be healthy and it’s even somewhat scary.

          You are a strange person bjh...you should get a life outside this hobby.

            ...build the world a home
            And furnish it with love
            Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
            I'd like to teach the world to sing
            In perfect harmony
            I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
            I'd like to see the world for once
            All standing hand in hand
            And hear them echo through the hills "Ah, peace throughout the land"
            (That's the song I hear)
            I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
            In perfect harmony
            I'd like to teach the world to sing
            In perfect harmony
            I'd like to build the world a home
            And furnish it with love
