Why no “Break in” period?

Everything is made of the same stuffs - electrons, neutrons, protons ... and so on.  Car engines are made out of the same stuffs, just like cables, capacitors, inductors ... and so on.

Most people are comfortable with engines breaking-in, but finding the concept of breaking-in somewhat "mysterious" in electronics stuffs.

Of course just like human finding "rain, fire, wind" were "mysterious" thousands of years ago before real science.

At least I should be thankful that they don't attribute "breaking-in" as an act of God lols.

Many companies now put something in their manuals like, "don't worry if it sound like crap. It takes three months for it to break in." When people don't know why they make stuff up. The Greeks made up Zeus.

Actually it should read like: 

Many companies now put something in their manuals like, "don't worry if it sound like crap. It takes months to break in and you know when, when you realize it no longer sounding like crap." 

Yes, what a lovely phrase! It carries the same force as the phrase, "skepticism bias". :) 

And now I return to my writing, as it is a waste of life to argue such things beyond a sentence or two. I have been known to be drawn into such things in the past, but I'm trying to reform myself.  :)

Well said, like others here, on the truth of break in. There's lots of projection going on here that points to "skepticism bias". It's become a well practiced art form and all the usual critters chime in with the same, bland accusations.

Once you've got it down to a few talking points, it doesn't matter what or how you say it, and the ditto heads will nod along in approval. Anything can be made up or added into the mix and it simply strengthens the belief. That, and the tendency to dog pile. It's actually predictable.

The only downside is that this "skepticism bias" has taken on a life of its own and pollutes many a discussion for no real reason other than to be seen as a normal form of communication, which is truly sad.

One of the valid forms of accommodation, in psychology, is a neurotic condition and can apply to certain aspects of authoritarianism. The ditto heads simply follow the strong ones even though they contradict their values, beliefs, mores and folkways. Civility and ethics can go right out the window as long as they win, as a group. Gone, is the open mind. New info need not apply. Closed for business.

That's why Doug is onto to something that I'm gonna try to practice more this year as my one and only resolution: to stop wasting so much time in these silly arguments, and stick to the stuff that matters.

All the best,

And what matters is the sound? That's what I thought.

But if that's the case, and there's people saying there's things can't make any difference when we know they can in fact make things sound better, well then its not silly at all.

At least, and I hate having to say this, but not the way I've done. Read my posts above. Everything is focused on listening- what things matter, what to listen for, how hard it is, that listening is a skill, that it can be learned, that you can learn and get better at it.

Not to say there aren't a lot of people making silly arguments. Actually they are more lame attempts at wit than arguments. But whatever. You get the point. 

If you have something to contribute and keep it to yourself because the loons might squawk, well all that does is cede the ground to the know-nothings, nut jobs and wannabee losers. If you have nothing to contribute then fine, don't. Wish the know-nothing nut job wannabee losers would do this. But they won't. 18,000 posts and counting, no sign of letup any time soon. With new ones coming on board all the time.

If they enjoy banding together bantering brainlessly back and forth and you can see the folly in it, point it out. Skewer them. As best you can. Defeat their arguments wherever and whenever you can. Refute, poke holes, chide, deride. Not all the time. But when and as you're able. 

Otherwise, if the place goes down the sewer and you didn't even try and do anything about it, well at least don't go acting all high and mighty and above it all. Not when you cowered when you could have at least tried to conquer.

Nicely stated. 👍
Pick and choose.
Be selective.
Never cede the high ground.
Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.....

All the best,
