your obvious contempt for audiophilesI have contempt for people that hear realtime differences in a standard that allows you to disconnect the Ethernet cable and yet the music could still play for 10, 20, 30 seconds.
and the whole scientific method notwithstanding
I'm all for the scientific method. You find me a scientist that thinks a rigorous study is needed to debunk spoon benders.
the real reason The Amazing Randi never (rpt never) lost a Million Dollar Challenge was because the test protocol was obviously slanted to favor Randi.
Ok, how is me flying out to you and your setup favoring me?
Let me give some examples, gentle readers. In the case of the Million Dollar Challenge for the Intelligent Chip Wellfed was expected to perform the test at some location other than his own house and on a system of Randi’s choosing.
See above. I'm totally willing to do this in your setup. I'll provide the Client/Server computer, Cisco SG200-8 switch and some additional cabling.
I.e., some unfamiliar God knows what system.
At the risk of being redundant: This would be in the claimants system.
Keep in mind Randi nor any of his crew were audiophiles.
So? An MD doesn't need to suffer the ailment to treat the patient.
There was also a dispute how many people from Randi’s crew were to have been present at the test
I wasn't planning on bringing Kate + 8
Finally Wellfed would have had to guess correctly 10 out of 10 consecutive trials. Give me break!
I was only requiring 1 round of 20
