What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

... all of our hearing is excellent at playing tricks on us. Seeing is believing, but hearing is not.

Oh no, the eye is very easily deceived. Using that to advantage is part of the art of many pursuits, such as architecture, illusions ("magic"), and design in all sorts of things, from clothing to cars.

In truth, the eye itself is not deceived, but the brain. The same is true when we listen. It's our brain that tells us what we hear. That is an important distinction because it hints at one of the challenges of conducting a scientifically valid blind listening test, but getting into that here is OT.

Lets say cleeds (this is just an example) says mahgister saw a Sherman tank fly. I take a look at a picture of a Sherman tank and reply that mahgister is hallucinating again ... Cleeds replys, "How can you say that? You just saw a picture!".. cleeds can look at a picture of a Sherman tank and know for an absolute fact that that thing ain't flying ... some of us are gifted and can tell by looking at some things that they are absolutely not suited for the suggested purpose.

Logical fallacies: excluded middle and reductio ad absurdum.

If you want to prove to me that something sounds better you have to show me the blinded AB comparison study with at least 10 subjects ...

This is a hobbyist's group, not a scientific forum. No one here has to prove anything to you or anyone else. If you seek double-blind test studies, you're in the wrong place - unless you're just here to argue.

... others don't have to do "experiments" to know how something will or will not work ...

Yup, that's the definition of the measurementalist. Real scientists conduct experiments to help evaluate empirical evidence.

@cleeds , yes, I am a physician and have to deal with human lunacy on a daily basis. But right now I do not have my physician’s coat on and none of you are my patients so I can let it fly. I apologize if that upsets you ...

You haven’t upset me, not even a little. Yes, I know you claim to be a physician. Based on your behaviors here - which reflect ill logic and where you’ve been suspended from the group at least once for attacking people - I don’t believe your claim. It’s your problem if that upsets you.

Perhaps some of the lunacy you "deal with on a daily basis" is your own.

No mahgister and millercarbon. It is not a joke and I am not the blind one.
Fairy tales are for children. What are you guys scared of? The truth?
The truth is that you men are extraordinarily suggestible ... It is you that are the joke and in my humble estimation it is a bad one.

Your "estimation" is an insult. It's not humble at all, it's just the opposite.

What's odd is that you claim to be a physician, yet you apparently don't hesitate to diagnose and condemn those you've never even met. Perhaps you are far more "suggestible" than you are comfortable acknowledging.
