why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable


I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

Science is not a religion. That's ridiculous.


Well, yes, idealistically, it is not a religion. A bazillion caveats that require a near insurmountable level of wariness and vigilance to avoid the trap of the human carrier.

The problem with science, is it involves the humans who conceived it. Therefore it is rife with religious undercurrents in it's practical execution.

The psychology of the carrier is built out of people and possesses many a colored logic fault. The concept and execution of science is impossible to separate from this fundamental carrier..so...
teo is either a scientist or a lawyer.  Both, when writing, are often hard to understand. 😁
