Hydrogen Audio Is The Training Manuel For The LFOs On PHP

Hello Kerr!

One cannot argue with dishonest people who are willing to falsely profess to honestly embrace the unbiased, objective, truth-seeking methods of scientific research in order to determine what the facts are in different areas of audio. Yet in reality they're seen to practice biased, unobjective, non-truth-seeking pseudoscientific in an effort to dishonestly "prove" their biased audio beliefs are correct! True scientific research doesn't cherry-pick which parts of science or tests they'll accept and which ones they won't, but that's exactly what most objectivists do!

Either you embrace the unbiased, objective, truth-seeking methods of scientific research or you don't. This thread isn't directed at any one specific person, instead I'll reveal some of the things many "supposed" objectivists choose to ignore, even though they're based apon the same scientific methods they so dearly claim to embrace.

For Example:

1) They often ignore the fact that "expectation bias" works negatively too. What this means is "if" someone honestly believes that a person is only hearing a difference because they expect to hear a difference, then the science this person embraces also states they must also believe with equal conviction that the only reason an person isn't hearing a difference is because they just don't expect to!

2) They often ignore the fact that the "placebo effect" ( Placebo = Latin for "I shall please") works negatively too. When the "placebo effect" is working negatively it is called the "nocebo effect" (Nocebo = Latin for "I shall harm). This works very similair to "expecation bias" above and essentially boils down to what to what you believe will happen is what will usually happen, either postively/placebo or negatively/nocebo. Whether your consciously aware of your beliefs or not, like a self-fulfilling prophecy. A good example of a placebo would be when a person is given a sugar pill and reports feeling better, because they believe they took medicine. A good example of a nocebo is when a person dies after being bitten by a non-venomous snake, because they believed the snake was venomous.

3) They ignore that there are vast differences in how a medical DBT and a home audio DBT is carried out. Yet they want others to accept the usage of DBT's in medicine as being all the proof required that a DBT's usage in home audio has been proven as being scientifically valid. However the reality is that medical and audio DBTs differ in many ways.
