All of those things have been and continue to be studied scientifically. For example, some years ago I read Harold McGee's excellent book "On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen" where he examined the myths of cooking from the standpoint of chemistry and physics. Some old tales about cooking were solidly grounded and others, well, not so much. Similarly, Masters & Johnson began studying sex from a scientific perspective back in the 1960s. Others have since followed suit and much has been learned. That won't tell us if you prefer blondes over brunettes or broccoli over asparagus, but there are certainly plenty of other solid facts to learn beyond your personal preference. I won't argue with you if your wish to call your personal preferences "facts" but it does complicate a discussion when one wanders too far from the conventional use of words in our language. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88345 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
