The hobbyists and audiophiles on this forum comprise people that are both highly intelligent and highly motivated. Many have a background in music or audio or both. These are creative people that can think beyond linear A to B. This is the type of creativity that drives innovation and change. Discovery and ideas almost always come before understanding.
Now we have a guy with no credentials in either music or audio walking around with an ohmmeter claiming these people are deluding themselves. Of course that is a trigger point. Galileo was imprisoned by the Catholic Church for saying that the earth was round. The leaders of the day had to protect the public from this "deluded" man. They refused to accept other possibilities. Technology has changed the world but some people never change.
