Very very late to the party....
Wow, what a depressing read....and entertaining at the same time.
Depressing to see how little people grasp of science, considering how important it is to our survival as a species.
Even after it's been firmly established that there is no difference, people still pop in saying how much better X sounds than Y. Un-be-lie-va-ble.
mplancke, you have a very limited grasp of the science. You don't seem to understand the whole purpose behind the null test and burden of proof. And what it is with the irrelevant talk about people's credentials and accomplishments?
Go for the ball, not the man! You'd make a great scientist: "Before I'll even consider rebuking my esteemed colleague's criticism of my hypothesis, I'd ask him to take his pants down so we can measure..."...Yeah, that's how it's done....
And Gibson that has popped by every now and then spouting his own brand of crazy. Priceless!
When will you people understand how little you can trust your own ears? And that science is by definition THE only thing we can actually trust.
If you think one DAW sounds better than the next, go ahead and believe that. But you need to learn that when a null test shows otherwise, it is your ears that are lying. Not the null test.
I was surprised to see that even though this thread took off into the usual flame war pretty quickly, we had to wait all the way to post #396 until any mention of Hitler (and then even only by proxy/category).
Lesson that should've been learned: Science - it works, bitches!
