Hearing refers to a perception, that's all. If someone "hears" a difference it means that two events were perceived to be different by that person. This may be due to any number of causes, but the random thermal motion of the air molecules is a perfectly good one. Another is a changing focus of attention. It is extraneous and insulting to bring accusations of "imagination" into the discussion. All perception is related to the state of one's mind and is intimately connected with one's imagination and every other aspect of one's consciousness. It is not an argument from ignorance to believe the statements of one's friends concerning their perceptions. The perceptions are (tautologically) correct. I presume that my friends are not complete flakes and are not liars, so I have a strong tendency to believe these kinds of statements.
I do not make "claims". I make statements of personal belief. They may be correct or incorrect, but I try my best to make them correct. You are free to accept them or not and free to try to help me if you sincerely believe I am incorrect. If you do so in an a friendly way then I may well change my mind. As to "claims", the word implies staking out territory, something that animals do by spraying urine. This has a lot to do with overly intelligent sociopaths bullying around weaker individuals, but little to do with reaching any mutual understanding of shared truth.
My experience with various audio forums is that it would not be an unreasonable deduction to conclude that posters who use phrases like "evidence", "claims" and "burden of proof" are most likely xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. You will get nowhere with me or many other people on this forum by adopting this kind of language.
