How do you manage to be wrong all the time? Even a coin flip is right half the time

Personal preferences can be affected by bias if they are formed under sighted conditions. This is always true not just true when you or any other objectivist doubt the existance of an audible difference.

You can flap your lips and spew any kind of nonsense and we are all still entitled to our opinions. No one needs to pass a test or get your permission. get over yourself.

You really have the objectivist blinders stuck on with super glue. Bias effects are in play always under sighted conditions. So if you want an unbiased comparison you need to do it under blind conditions. that is a universal truth regardless of whether or not Bass Nut thinks there is a real audible difference between that which is being compared or not. I realize this concept may be going over your head since it has every other time I have explained it to you but just try to sit back, put on the thinking cap and digest this reality.

That is true of *any* comparison between two diffferent items. ANY. It_is_not_unique_to_things_you_believe_make_no_audible_difference.

Now you are just making things up.
