In light of the discussion, instead of asking you to prove this statement, could you give examples? I mean, the Earth sure seems flat, doesn't it? A subjectivist would tell you it's flat, and it did seem to make intrinsic sense until the science evolved to find out for sure, in which case the subjectivists turned out to be wrong.

I love it when they make up scientific-sounding terms that don't mean anything. About 6 months ago all the cosmetics commercials were talking about "beta hydroxy" which is a meaningless pseudo-chemical term. I bet the public was fooled. richidoo;156963 Wrote: > Companies whose mission statement reads, "There's a sucker born every > minute." will not survive the internet. I dunno, the aforementioned Q-Ray, Bose and Monster Cable seem to be doing well! -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29972 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
