Cables more hype than value?

Well you speak of these 'men' as if they were 'gods' Rok. As if they know all that there is to know. As in 'turn out the lights, there is nothing more that we can learn/understand'.

IMHO, science is ever-evolving. As the human mind grows, so does science. Science cannot explain everything yet, however, folks like you and Irv do not realize that. You feel that everything there is to know is already known. Maybe that is why many here feel that naysayers are close-minded.

Science is a wonderful tool for all of mankind, forgive me if I do not worship at the foot of the altar or become a member of your cult of scientology.

Just because science cannot explain why folks hear differences in 2013, does not mean science will not have a better understanding of human hearing in 2113.
Have some faith in the human mind Rok! You may not believe it, but we will continue to gain knowledge of our world and universe as time marches on.

Pass the popcorn please....

BTW Irv, cancers are not 'cured', they may be sent into submission, but they are not cured. Almost everyone who is diagnosed with cancer will die of cancer, eventually, unless they are hit by a bus or something sooner.

I know many, many folks who were 'cured' of cancer, then died of cancer later on.

*remission*, not submission. ;)

A man goes to the doctor - the doctor says "I have terrible news. You have cancer, you have alzheimers" and the man says "well, thank God I don't have cancer". One of my favorite Gilbert Gottfried jokes.

Ridiculous but hilarious. These threads are always meaningless but entertaining, plus the insult one-upmanship comes in handy in other walks of life.
