WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?

I ask the question. Because I have had several discussions on Audiogon where certain posters will try to tell another person what they can or can’t hear in a system. Most of the time never hearing or having experiences either the piece of equipment, cables etc. It is usually against those that spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent.

So if someone tells you that they can hear (not feel) an 8 Hz or 28kHz sine wave, that doesn’t give you pause?  What if tracks are accompanied by satanic rites heard only by them?

Some things are beyond recognized audibility and it is a fool’s errand to try to convince some people otherwise.
