Not true, of course. Let me give two very contemporary examples. We have incomplete knowledge of climate change, yet the IPCC recently reported that it is very likely (90%) human activity is causing it, at least, to a large extent. I would say the argument that climate change is caused by man is plausible, wouldn't you? We also have incomplete knowledge of how evolution works, but, to say the very least, it is obviously plausible as a scientific theory. For you to say that we must have complete knowledge of a phenomenon before we can create a plausible operational theory is just plain stubborn, if not ignorant. -- ezkcdude DIY projects page: http://www.ezdiyaudio.com System: SB3->EZDAC->MIT Terminator 2 interconnects->Endler Audio 24-step Attenuators (RCA-direct)->Parasound Halo A23 125W/ch amplifier->Speltz anti-cables->DIY 2-ways + Dayton Titanic 10" subwoofer He's not hi-fi, he's my stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
