How Science Got Sound Wrong


I don't believe I've posted this before or if it has been posted before but I found it quite interesting despite its technical aspect. I didn't post this for a digital vs analog discussion. We've beat that horse to death several times. I play 90% vinyl. But I still can enjoy my CD's.

As for expertise, you’ll have to provide your own proof of that, with a name and a background on yourself.
 
We can and do have similar discussion over at DIYAudio, and the participants hang their shingle right on the posts they commit to. Scott Wurcer, Demian Martin, Nelson Pass, John Curl, and many more. No one there snipes from a hidden position.
I am sensing a Strawman argument there. I can assert that there's a humongous black hole in the center of our galaxy without having credentials in that area. you do NOT have to have credentials in some specific field to assert claims, or claims that are true. That would be silly since experts in a specialized field don't agree with each anyway.
Cool, I also participate on DIYAudio and AudioScience, and you know what, there are many many people on both those forums who would never make the mistakes that the author of this article and you have made.

I provided several links in this forum that prove what I am saying is true. I could provide many many more. Your name and background shows you clearly unqualified to comment on this topic, so just what are you trying to suggest? Are you a published researcher on digitized systems? Nelson Pass, John Curl, Demian Mark are not published researchers in digitized systems, so why even bring them up (Scott, if it is the Scott I am thinking of may have). Are you suggesting you are in the same class as them?

I just fell back in that black hole and got reassurance it was recently certified as an "Expert Black Hole’. Certificate expires on December 31, 3623.


It expurged me straight into audiogon forum.

The laws of statistics and probability dictate that even a monkey sitting down at a typewriter, assuming you could make them sit for that period of time, will eventually type something that’s true. But what, dear readers, does it really mean to make a true statement? People on both sides of any issue, especially digital vs analog, are quite capable of making true statements and often do. The issue is not (rpt not) black and white. 🦓

Note: even an expert in a specialized area cannot claim victory in an argument automatically simply by referencing his credentials. That is a, you know, Appeal to Authority.
