I'm curious Norm, why would you even start with the belief that anyone would ever expect all tweaks will work or work in all circumstances? How many people like this have you ever personally met? I've never actually met someone like that myself & although I've never met one of these "Scam Police types" you're talking about either, from the tone of some of the responses that are based on the OP's comments it does seem like there are some people who actually will and apparently do, refuse to simply listen and assess what they've just heard!
Where I am in total agreement with you is about the opposite of the "placebo effect" To few of the proponents of the "placebo effect" or "expectation bias" forget it works equally well both ways! So the instant anyone believes or proclaims someone else is hearing an improvement simply because they're expecting to, if they can think logically they'll have to agree it's 100% equally possible that the reason others, aren't hearing an improvement is simply because they're expecting not to!
