Okay, one more, I can’t resist:
"We had an interesting incident near Humboldt State University. A new cell tower went up and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cell phone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health. Think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational. The ability of the human brain to convince itself of just about anything is not to be underestimated." --Brian Dunning
But no one is saying there can never be placebo effects or other types of psychological phenomena in audio or any other field. Your problem is that it’s a logical fallacy to argue that those psychological phenomena conveniently explain *everything* you happen to be skeptical about or whatever.
