There was a time when one could look at a contributor’s profile and see, not only all of that person’s posts in the various threads, but also the tally of total number of posts according to category (“analog”, “digital”, “misc”, etc.); posts in threads either initiated, or participated in. When participating in or following a discussion where the topic was, or turned to, the issue of objectivity (science) vs subjectivity I would find it interesting to look at a poster’s post tally according to category after trying to guess which category would have the most, or the least, number of posts. Not always, but the OVERWHELMING majority of the time the objectivist would have very few and usually zero posts in the “music” category, or passing mention of that general topic in posts in other categories. Not sure that one can make general assumptions, but likely that there is something to extrapolate from this curious factoid.
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.
