"I Trust My Ears"
"I trust my ears" should really be "I trust my brains". Neither is adequate. I trust my ability to pay attention. I trust my ability to interpret. I trust my ability to be patient and be rigorous in my methods. Those are the things at stake...

Such a slippery line. This is a site about buying things. Buying things involves economics. Economics brings in policies about economics. That's politics.  The idea that "politics is bad" is, I think, a bit crude. It's how discussion is carried ...
