Words of wisdom from the past?

In 1991, JA wrote an editorial that elicited a response from a reader dismissing Peter Belt's tweaks. In response Richard Lehnart wrote:

<< It is important to remember that, in the history of science, theories usually come after the facts to explain otherwise inexplicable events. If Peter Belt's tweaks work, then it is the responsibility of professional audiophiles to first investigate and report that fact (or, at least, that opinion as informed by experience, however subjective), then speculate as to its cause. Rejection of alleged phenomena on purely theoretical grounds — as Mr. Long seems to be doing, regardless of how "common-sense" his position — is indistinguishable from the cant of orthodoxy. >>

Does that mean that Stereophile has now joined the "cant of orthodoxy"?
