Yes, On Highway 61, I forgot how leading edge the physics is in audio. Nearly all the principles can be learned in freshman year at any of the best engineering universities, so high tech is audio!
Unlike intelligence, which is not much of a personal choice (though IQ can be raised), ignorance is a choice. Google searches bring up texts and university papers in any of the engineering and physics disciplines that relate to audio. But, folks would would rather mouth off and remain stubbornly wrong instead of learn something from those available texts.
"Don't bother me with facts! I have my OPINIONS" seems to be the mantra of so many audio guys (including many "designers" and reviewers).
In racing we used to call this type "bench racers". They talk a big game and it's fun to then see them on the track making fools of themselves. No such accountability in audio, unfortunately.
