Art is an expression of the uniqueness of the human species. And music is perhaps the most primordial and deep-rooted of all the arts. Therefore I would submit, that it is difficult (if not impossible) to study or discuss the full aspects of recording music and completely ignore issues of human nature and human behavior.

Apparently this is not a universally held opinion. Sadly, in some places such discussions are frowned upon as "polluting" the purity of an audio board... to the extent that I have been permanently banned from one such board. Perhaps I was considered a negative distraction from the more compelling issues, such as "which vocal mic costing less than $100 should I buy?"

I'll leave you to guess which one.
