Studies vs. First Hand Observation

"Fact: I answered him."

No you did not. You just dug up a study (which may not even be relevant) and parroted it.

When I experience something first hand, and repeatedly so, especially when it provides what I think is profound information about the nature of listening, no study "opposing" it will change what I think I perceive, no matter how "respected" the author of the study might otherwise be. Just like RFI, there are a lot of aspects in listening that have been overlooked in past studies that I say are ghastly important.

We need to continually find and record new phenomena which could possibly explain our perception of sound. And encourage the discussion and investigation of such phenomena. (This is why John Curl has been able to design superior products.) Sticking by established methods and findings, will fail to reveal the reasons why many people have been frustrated with the lack of advancement of the audio art in the past 30 years.
