Who exactly did I slag off? 

As far as dismissing some of these things, if a manufacturer spouts
pseudo-scientific crap at me about a product, the thing has no known
technical or engineering basis behind it, and I haven't even been shown
that it actually works at all (and a sighted test shows nothing, as
we've all been over again and again), then I'm going to call
"bullsh*t".

Again, I'm not demanding that the thing be proven via measurements, or
even at all, but if I'm to take it seriously, someone needs to have
bothered to show that it really works in some vaguely rigorous manner.


And the argument that X believed Y, which is analogous to your position
(although not the same), and he was wrong in some respects, therefore
you are wrong, as well, is not a good one, to get back to this
subjectivist/objectivist thing.
