The Science of Cables

taras22,

You are clearly referring to your post in which you wrote:

taras:

So if you are happy with functional mediocrity go ahead and knock yourself out, but please don’t try to impose your rather dogmatic beliefs on others.

And I paraphrased your implication as:

Prof:

"You are the one being dogmatic, and must simply enjoy mediocrity."

Now you try to wiggle out of your own insult, as if my paraphrasing was inaccurate.  As if your insult was merely "conditional" and not a direct implication.   And yet you know very well I’ve mentioned many times I use Belden cables, and in this very thread I had just repeated that fact. And obviously I’m happy with them...or I’d change them. That I use and am happy with Belden cable is not an unknown, therefore your clumsy insult CLEARLY entailed that I am happy with mediocrity.  And obviously declared me to be dogmatic.


Your attempt to paint my paraphrasing as a dishonest characterization of your implication is just...shameless on your part.

Ok, I’m done with responding to lame red herrings at this point.

Carry on revolutionizing electronics! Looks like you’ve got some people who think you are a source of reliable information on that subject ;-)

If someone is advancing/producing something for sale, is that really called a "hobby"?

"How much are dealers gonna make by demoing cables or room treatment or tweaks?"

Not much, if the results are not as noticeable as many around here claim.

" That’s why, as I often point out to your diatribes"...

Now that is funny (thanks prof). In the words of Lou Reed "I'll be your mirror" 

@prof

Here is a thought....if you had actually thought that there was a reasonable equivalence between my original statement and your "paraphrase" why make something up and then dress it up with quotes....why not, you know, just use the original quote, that would have been simple, and dare I say, intellectually honest and defensible. But no, that original quote was not good enough to express what YOU wanted to say, so you went that extra mile or two and made up your own quote and unwittingly and absolutely showed the true depths of your honestly, and this just after a mini-lecture on intellectual honesty ( and btw that depth of honesty that you displayed is one of the hallmarks of the mindset of dogmatic fundamentalists....as in, the reality doesn’t quite jive with my preconceived notions of what should be, so we’ll just cobble together something that does.....read, the big problem with dogmatic fundamentalism is that it is intellectually dishonest, and apparently not much unlike you...so I guess we can now safely say the conditional has now morphed into an affirmative eh...soooo.....nice shooting sparky, that was your foot you just hit ).

And then to lecture on the theme of shameless....wow, coming from you after that display of intellectual "honesty", that is really the epitome of rich.

And speaking of roughly paraphrasing, here is something from my past that fits nicely....

Son, I would stop whining about that F you just got on your paper. You have a much bigger problem. You just failed the course.
