Anyone who has been trained in perception research knows it's not that simple. Sure, there's a difference between walking in workboots, walking in high-end running shoes and walking barefoot. But less obvious comparisons (between two brands and price points of running shoes, for instance) are less obvious. Our CONVICTIONS shape our PERCEPTIONS. You might be right about the comparison between the Transporter and other devices, but I won't take it as gospel until there is some evidence of head to head blind comparisons. Why not just try it and report on it? Just be careful to ensure that the test is truly blind, though. R.
