Douglas_schroeder, were this a science there are many factors that would have to be held constant, such as time of day, as electricity demand varies, holding all other things constant, choice of music, etc.

I agree there are infinite number of dynamic variables but you should minimize as many as possible in an experiment. In this case, one obvious is performing the test in the same system. I can't believe you are arguing this point.

But it is not a science; it is a consumer's decision about purchases. If Liguy is satisfied, that is it.

Purchasing decision is not science but the test that lead to the decision IS ... logic, common sense ...

Tbg,

I don't think anyone is questioning his purchasing decision but just the FLAWED test that lead to the decision. It's his $$ and system ... This is a discussion forum after all.

I've stated many times, this is the internet with unfiltered data. We don't know who is behind the display and on the keyboard so CAVEAT EMPTOR. This applies to both amateur and pro comments/reviews but over time, you do know who to trust and not to trust.

Sometimes I feel for companies (Synergistic) where customers are not using the product as designed and report issues as if it's a problem.

Internet is powerful but also dangerous.

Well said Al. Why have a discussion forum if we just share our experiences without questions?

Tbg, I'm in tech field and my experiences are very different than yours regarding to experiments. If my products fail, it's a matter of life and death. I guess in your world, it's just a failing grade.
