Indeed. And here I draw an analogy to, of all things, UFO's. Yes, there are serious UFO researchers out there. But they are very quick to help discredit ludicrous claims, as they realize that the nut cases and frauds undermine the credibility of their chosen field. Do we see the same among audiophiles? Do we see a lot of "serious but rational" audiophiles, who argue for effects that could be possible, but who strongly help discredit the ones that are clearly foo? Not really. The "open minded" audiophiles are open to pretty much anything, independent of if it makes scientific sense or not. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
