Duke, good info and worth keeping in one's back pocket. IMO what makes for integrity is not that you blindly repeat the same thing for ever, but that you are open to new info and can recognize good with bad and acknowledge both, and pitch your tent where you believe it belongs.
Equally important is the strength of character to match words with actions; do as you say you will do, act based on your words and beliefs, and don't break promises unless your circumstances are genuinely dire.
People who don't do these things lose credibility and trust of others, and there are as many of them in audio as in any other avenue of life.
I have not followed the writings of REG particularly but will keep an eye out for the two differing opinions posted above. Although getting a little off the thread's subject it is useful to know.
