It's really quite simple:
1) The definitive test was (and still is) the one done by Lynn Fuston, which shows summing 22 channels of a single signal nulls or closely nulls where you can't hear a difference. It's a fact. I don't know why people have a problem with this.

2) Lynn's test is very limited. It does not accurately simulate the countless variables involved in a real mixing environment. Lynn readily acknowledges this as does most experienced mixers. It the compu-geek novices that pull out the null test and comes to the conclusion that all aspects of the DAW nulls. Many of their comments clearly show they are more experienced with computers than audio. One thinks Bob O. made his comments for monetary gain--a really stupid remark for anyone who has followed Bob's career or read his posts. Another confused dither with SRC.

3) I wrote #1 and #2 (with quotes from Lynn and Bob) about 200 posts ago. They don't get it--they never will get it.

4) It's really a waste of time trying to have an objective and rational discussion on this subject.

With #4 in mind, I'm out of here.

I can't find fault with anything you say, especially point #4.
