Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

No insult here

Just the limits of science can and cannot call proof.

Correlation does not equal causation. This fundamental and axiomatic. The coincident presence of A with B does not mean A caused B or vice versa.

The fact that the effect is, in the end, a report of an internal experience, it cannot be independently verified. This means that correlation of the report to a postulated cause is all that can ever be achieved. Period. We can’t get past mere coincidence. This applies to the simplest go/no go DBT or the most massive DOE matrix. All are bound by this limitation in our particular case.


It is junk science to say that a failure to identify differences in cables under a DBT proves anything other than a failure to identify differences in cables under that specific DBT. As is obvious the whole process ends in a tautology that proves nothing. One can speculate a million things of course, but these are not facts. And to assert these ruminations as fact is, you guessed it, junk science.
