I better count to 10 before replying to that one... 1. I haven't claimed anything. I have pointed to possibilities. 2. You implicitly say that it is an impossibility that people have varying hearing capability. Just like it is impossible that some people are good at maths, some are good at drawing, some are gifted at playing music. Everyone can judge that 1/100th millimeter just like a watchmaker. Yeah.. all differences are impossible. Have you been able to literally ovveride your visual perception in broad daylight with eyes open by simply listening to music? I.e. the vision melting away (going inverted first, then fading out into black, in my case). No drugs involved. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
