RE: That clears up a lot!

Good Lard can you really be serious?

"Of course this is a scientific paper; it's been published in a refereed journal, where people of demonstrated competence pick it apart and demand whatever they think it needs before they allow it to go to publication. The methodology is sound and the work has stood up to the challenges the reviewers posed, which were few, because we knew what we were doing. They wanted a bit more data reduction, which we supplied, and they otherwise pretty much appreciated our thoroughness."

What, are we to suppose that you gave them a verbal extensive description of your methodology, procedures, detail results... the whole shebang! What then, should we suppose they said, "Great, look write up a short summary and we'll publish it in our scientific journal... Oh! don't forget the conclusions but if you want to leave off all the boring detail No Problemo!, we're already fully satisfied on those points and there's no need to bore the poor readers to death."

Did it go down something like that? Surely it must have because a memeber here reported after reading the full report that "... the test description and analysis is surprisingly thin. No equipment readout, no results breakdown by listener or location or whatnot, no detailed description of listening venues, no musical selections. No null hypothesis, no description of type I/II error."

Which brings up an interesting question, how exactly would a reader come "... up with a cogent objection or spots a flaw in our procedures or conclusions"?

I mean really! Is this a reflection on what passes for "science" for the folks of "demonstrated competence" at the "scientific" journal in question?
