I respect your input on many topics around here. Just this over-zealous "mythbusting" touches my nerves... I don't think there's only one side that might change (or at least slightly adjust) its mind.

This whole Se electronics thingy vs RT thingy is childish and seems like unfair sales tactics. Making Se electronics thingy look less useful than it is.

Just btw - I don't like any of those things, it's really a band-aid solution I prefer not to use. I prefer "imperfect" reflections over that kind of close absorbtion, but that's a subjective choice, of course. I'm sure both products are very useful to many people.

I became biased, because I got a feeling that you disregard the "magical" subtleties of this art and craft that many a great recordist, conductor, audio engineer, artist of any kind could go on and on about in colourful terms which you dismiss as irrelevant all too easy. I don't like the style and tone with which you try to dismantle those "myths". That's why I became biased against your output.
