Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?

When these two camps retire to their listening rooms, which school of thought tends to get better sound? Those who ultimately place their faith in measurements above actually listening to their systems? Or those of us who look at measurements, but ultimately make our decisions based on what subjectively sounds best to us?

Objectivist in the audio world is currently just another word for moron. 
Not that I have any strong opinion here. 

 

I don't have any strong opinion here either 😂, but I tend to call them Measurement Morons. Using "objectivist" to describe them is way too flattering for these morons.

That's hardly an objective statement.  😘

They are not morons if they bother to listen.

I won't even consider a component unless I can see some measurements on it. I guess that makes me a moron.
