A challenge to the "measurement" camp

I’ve watched some of his video and I actually agree on some of what he said,
but he seems too confident on his insistence on measurement. For those
who expound on the merits of blind test and measurement, why not turn
the table upside down?

Why not do a blind test of measurement? That is I will supply all the measurement
you want, can you tell me which is a better product?

For example, if I have a set of cable, and a set of measurement for each
individual cable, can you tell me which is the best cable based on measurement
alone? I will supply all the measurement you want.
After all, that is what you’re after right? Objective result and not subjective
listening test.

Fast forward to 8:15 mark where he keeps ranting about listening test
without measurement.

By the way, is he getting paid by Belden?  Because he keeps talking about it
and how well it measures.  I've had some BlueJean cables and they can easily
bettered by some decent cables.

So, you already know the results? Interesting. If you already know the results I guess we don’t have to measure anything, after all. Will wires made of lead sound better than copper wires? How about carbon wires? Will silver sound better than copper? Will thin wires sound better than thick wires?

Well not really I should have said I assume the 12awg would look better it might not if I don’t know which plot is which I couldn't really say.

 I have no idea I haven't been given any measurements to look at so far by the OP.

Doesn't matter the OP never asked about how it would sound just which one measured better.

Gravitational time dilation has been experimentally measured using atomic clocks on airplanes. The clocks aboard the airplanes were slightly faster than atomic clocks on the ground. The effect is significant enough that the Global Positioning System’s GPS satellites need to have their clocks corrected.
