It is like that in all audio thread and most of the times everywhere else...
People argue about a tree not seeing the forest...
They argue about the meaning of a number...
Losing sight of the whole...
Like in audio when i entered in it 7 years ago and tried to understand, many were analysing with tools they dont master piece if gear, headphone or speakers, without knowing a thing about acoustic which is the most important factor in S.Q. way over electronic new design of dac, amplifier or even speakers..
Ignorance, especially crowned ignorance of the "specialist" is destructive of all understanding...
I am not suprized by the way this debate take the wrong turn...
Focusing on numbers and fleas on a single tree...
Where is the forest about which our attention must be turned?
For I.Q. check Wiiliam James Sidis life and forget about your own I.Q. versus other people I.Q.😊😁😊
Anyway beyond Sidis, what is the I.Q. of Christ or Buddha... It does not matter because never mind the working engine potential of the brain , the driver is CONSCIOUSNESS... And great I.Q. with low consciousness make someone more dangerous than a moron : Bill Gates...
Do you think that he is "intelligent" ?
No, because pathological self interest kill any true knowledge and wisdom , nevermind the I.Q.
