In Reply to: Are We Being Ungrateful? posted by PriyaW on April 9, 2002 at 10:51:03:
After reading the whole thread which has taken of the appearance of a war-zone, it`s easy to get the impression that ggraff has indeed attacked science but read the original post by itself and I can`t honestly see that he has.All he`s said is that he`s given up trying to prove/measure beyond doubt the effectiveness of tweaks and the like when improvements are apparently audible to him and his trusted friends.
Saying that some science is `pseudoscience` doesn`t tar all science with the same brush, but take a random pick of the various websites of cable/tweaks/components manufacturers and read the explanations of why their products are better than the competition; they can`t all be right yet the list of facts and figures on display are designed to support the claims.One request I`d make to manufacturer`s of tweaks in particular is to admit when they can`t fully explain how their product works; if I can`t see logic in their explanation I tend to discount it.
On the other hand I haven`t read any explanations of why Black Gate capacitors are better than standard capacitors, but word of mouth by people whose opinions I am inclined to trust suggests they are - no reason needed.
Many times I`ve read attacks not on a certain tweak but on the explanation/science given for it`s effect. Take away this explanation and a tweak has to be judged by listening to it - if it works there`s no problem.Best Regards,
Chris Redmond.
