Because they are _opinions_, Charlie. Nothing that is published in
Stereophile is inteded be taken as infallible fact, which is why you
can often find me publishing contrary reports on things. As I wrote
years ago in the magazine, I regard the Truth as unattainable, like
the peak of a high mountain. What are apparently contradictory views
may well be views of the same mountain from different sides.
The only thing I ask from any of my writers is that they report what
they honestly think, regardless of the consequences. That is just
what Jim did in his May "As We See It," for which I thank him.
As I mentioned in an earlier posting that you may not have seen, the
Stereophile writer who does possibly come in for some justified
criticism is _me, because of all the Stereophile writers who have
written about the IC -- Jim and Sam Tellig in the magazine, Ken
Kessler and myself in our enewsletter -- I am the only one who hasn't
tried it.
