Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?


Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.

Why is it so?

There is no measuring device as sensitive as the human ear, among other things.
I will say this in another way...because it is not "true" writtenΒ  like this...

The ears is "sensible" to meaning in sound....The ears is less sensible than some tool for this unidimensional accuracy by numbers, but for accuracy of meaning, which is multidimensional, nothing replace the ears...

Any tool live in ONE dimension which is the dimension of his use and parameters of his application...

The ears live in many dimension at the same time, which are all linked together by "meaning" for our consciousness....
No problem I don't listen to Bach.
I am not surprized.....

Science explains the music and the gear completely
The gear yes ....

The music not at all...

Music is not only sound sorry....

No more than pitch perception is reducible to physical acoustic...

Read about psychoacoustic= physical acoustic and neurophysiology of perception ...

After that add music studies which is irreducible to any of the fields i just name....

Science is not a "superstition" or a belief in audio thread that explain anything and everything , it is a complex grid of fields studies without ANY alleged artificial unity save for his rigorous method.....
I prefer Puccini.
Then i apologize to you....

Puccini is a God in music....

My best to you....
