It's all in tone. Unless there's any evidence backing something up, it's conjecture at best. That's the way it is. But some scientifically-minded people have a way of saying "conjecture at best" in a way that rhymes with "mule-sit". It's a lack of interpersonal skills, and I agree that that sort of tone discourages exploration and doesn't breed good discussion. There are also the sort of theories that, if true, would threaten the foundations of many other theories. See Einstein's "God doesn't play dice with the universe" dismissal of quantum mechanics. Getting personally invested in a particular way of looking at things happens, and clearly even to the best of us. And the only solution is evidence. Pile it on until they cry uncle. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32466 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
