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.

It may be mere apocryhpa, but I've always heard that Oscar Wilde said something along the lines of:

"The need to censor is the most powerful driver of human behavior.  Next to it, the sex drive is barely noticeable."

Because some people believe in scientific facts and others believe in snake oil marketing.

Some are more interested more in the music than the science of it all. Damn a measurement does it sound good to my ear. Is all I need to know.
