There are two kinds of dogma's. The religious kind and scientific

kind. The later are ''caused'' by Kant with his ''absolute truth''.

However according to Popper all theories are refutable. In our

case there are two ''concepts'' which are questioned: rigidity and

energy  transfer.  I am dogmatic in the sense that I would never

use rubber ring between the headshell and the armwand while

 both sides assume a coupling between them which can't be tighten

''to mach''.

There is no such thing as ''certainty'' in our hobby so the most of

us are gullible. That is to say we believe that ''something else'' is

better than what we already own . This explains the present

prices of the MC carts (among other prices).

Addition, Skeptic A: '' one thing is for sure my friend ;nothing is for sure ''.

Skeptic B: ''Are you sure about that?''

The biggest frustration by inventors is the case when their

experiments by which something new is discovered can't be

reproduced by others with the same result. However this is or

should be the usual practice. One can of course complain by

his mom who will declare those others for ''nitwits'' or ''envious

scum'' . I mention my mom deliberately because my dad always

believed the others more.

If whatever experiment can't be repeated by others with the same

result than such experiment should be counted as worthless.
