Not at all. They evaluated the ability of your rocks in a jar to modify the sound field using the known scientific laws and then they pronounced rubbish. For your argument to work you must pick a group of people that do not know about the science of acoustics. Have you tried to convince audiophiles?

It cannot be that austere if it contains light hearted articles of the kind to raise your hackles.

It is an appeal to the authority of scientific knowledge. I would suggest that for matters in the scientific domain this is the strongest authority that mankind has yet devised. Or would you disagree?

I have no objections to being better prepared but the "serious" sceptic material tends to be a bit too earnest and judgemental for my tastes. I am expect one or two articles might be entertaining but it will have to wait for a holiday break.
