Psag,
You have stated "People in audio often say 'trust your ears', as if that's the end of any and all arguments. I don't believe that to be the case."
Audio comes from the Latin. It literally means "I hear". Rene Descartes said "cogito ergo sum" -- "I think therefore I am". In audio this would be the equivalent of "I think therefore I hear". I do not feel that anything should or can replace a good set of ears.
