In Reply to: Re: Huh! But there are so many things to "prove". Look at Norm and Quint's explorations... posted by David Aiken on December 27, 2005 at 21:14:02:
As with pharmaceuticals?But you know already how *that's* going to turn out.
Federal supervision of audio tests? To keep them "honest"? Say no!
You write, "The customer gets enough information to know what to listen for in order to satisfy themselves about the claim and no-one is going to get involved in arguing too much about the claims made for how it works." Sorry, but I have to laugh. Out loud. Rolling on the floor too. But perhaps you missed the bandwidth eaten by detractors of the Intelligent Chip? Who moreover had never listened to it?
The problem we have here is that you get a bunch of ugly customers (who aren't customers at all actually but let it pass, let it pass) who challenge one's very *right* to offer an opinion on sonics, if it doesn't fit into their severely blinkered worldview.
