Human subjective nature is the bane of a lot of experiments. I think there is probably supportive literature to show that if an experimenter wants to see a result he may bias the way he does his work to see that result. This bias might be in spite of the very conscious effort of the experiment not to influence the outcome. This has lead to the development of blind and double blind experiments. Things set up to eliminate the bias.
Until that happens believing the cryo-treating a horn works is just that, a belief. Many folks accomplish a lot of things on belief alone. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
