Those are your conclusions?

JA> > > In what I believe is /not/ an uninformed opinion, I think the vast majority of the criticisms made of MQA are not based on facts; are based on societal and financial factors that I don't regard as relevant; are commercially self-serving; are based on circular reasoning; or are nothing more than uninformed conspiracy theories.

Perhaps you're not including me in those who have criticized MQA, I have to admit that if that's what you've concluded, it's, well, nothing that's ever been on mind or the minds of most I've talked to. It also comes across as downright odd, if you ever wish to discuss...

There have been some who have mentioned things like the financial implications, but insofar as all the digital experts I've discussed this with, it's been the technical merit (or lack of) of MQA that's been first and foremost. Talk to Robert Watts, John Siau, etc. As for me, I've had trouble with the lack of proper listening experiments, which Bruno Putzeys brilliant brought to the forefront of the conversation last week. Those questions are much harder to duck.
