Do you mean that the rest of your post is not meaningful?

I responded to Dawnrazor's question. My answer was about my own path. I did not re-hash old arguments in detail. I believe that my statement was clear.

Is it not dogmatic to refuse to subject the basis of your beliefs to criticism based on knowledge and reason? I made a clear distinction between the tweaks and the assertions that cics made. Those assertions are subject to analysis without hearing the result. You ignored that distinction.

Using your own knowledge and reasoning to evaluate what others say seems like a normal and desirable human activity. Talking about audio in terms of your knowledge and your reasoning from that knowledge would seem a natural activity on this forum.

You have mis-characterized my remarks as an attack for the cics approach.

Dawnrazor's response and yours demonstrates an unwillingness to allow any unfavorable remark about the cics approach whatever the context to pass without a rebuttal.

You jumped to a conclusion. In fact, I am a scientist by training and I used that view in my work writing software. I also used that view in reading cics's material.
