Hey Geoff...

65.246.227.5

Often, you seem like a reasonable guy. But I'd like to see/hear/read you acknowledge something I think is pretty obvious; otherwise I might change my mind about that: that listening isn't necessarily "the test," because our ears/mind can deceive us. Hearing is fallible. Don't you agree? It's pretty obvious I think.

As one trained in experimental science, I've got great response for empiricism. But people get it wrong even when it's quantitative, even when rigorous methods are employed. And you must admit that in this case the methods aren't especially rigorous, at least in most cases.

Clearly you think the chip works; that's a different issue. What I'm questioning is your claim that listening is THE TEST. It isn't. Listening is fallible. Wouldn't you agree?
