Something For The Fuse Guys ...

75% of the world believes in a deity, pick any of those people and between 50% and 99% of that 75% thinks their deity is a delusion. 100% of those 75% have absolutely no verifiable proof that a deity exists.

Somewhere around 50-100 million American's believe the Earth is 10,000 years old or less, though there is 0 proof that is true.

Homeopathic medicine is a $400+ million/year business in America alone, even though not once has it shown to have any positive benefit.

2% of Americans, or 7,000,000 people are convinced the Earth is flat. 

Millions bought V.W. Golfs/Rabbits in the 80's/90's under the impression they were reliable cars. There was never any objective evidence this was true. They were even less reliable than North American cars. They were just popular.

But perhaps most apt is the size of the Penis size pill enhancer market is estimated at $50-100/million per year ... and guess what, they don't do anything.

You are trying to plead to authority, use "mass" rules, and any number of logical fallacies all at once.

With around 100,000 fancy audiophile fuses sold in the last fifteen years

You have been using the same line for over a year now Geoff......you should at least change it to "16 years" in case some of us have been sleeping through all the excitement 😴

Your examples make no sense in the context of audio. No offense intended. In fact your examples are excellent examples of logical fallacies. 

At least my estimated number of fancy fuses sold continues to go up. 🤡

Nope Geoffy boy, they are perfect examples. You were using a bandwagon fallacy. 100,000 people have jumped on the fuse bandwagon, therefore it is a great idea. You are also using a blind loyalty argument and a confirmation bias with a bit of circular reasoning thrown in for good measure. My examples address all those items.

$400+ million / year spent on Homeopathic and many, just like fuses, claim it works wonders.

Oh, my VW Rabbit is fantastically reliable, I mean just look how many are on the road.

The Homeopathy argument, like fuses, breaks down as soon as it is exposed to controlled testing.

With 100,000 fuses sold, surely you can point to 3, 4, 10 controlled listening tests ... you know multiple subjects, double blind, AB or better ABX controlled? ... No? .... but you probably have a 100,000 excuses why not. Am I right?

How are those penis pills working out? :-)
