And that has nothing to do with anything?  You said you heard a
difference with those wood things, and I am not disputing that.  You
did.  The question remains, then, "why?"

Is it because of the properties of the wood?  Is it because of
something else?

Understanding the effect will lead to replicability and possibly even
greater improvement.  That is how Science works.

Perhaps the difference is that you have very little curiosity about
such things.  Whatever.  Some of us do.  I don't know why the fact that
others have this curiousity pisses you off so much that you demand we
can't talk about it.

You know nothing about me.  I deal with uncertainty and Faith all the
time, actually.  But I also deal with knowledge and facts.  But, then,
this is a discussion of Scientific Method, not "let's try to
psychoanalyze people based on words on the screen"

Leave the ad hominem attacks out, thanks.

WTF?

Last sentence: "And when did I demand anything?"

Two sentences prior: "It is even provable that you can hear a
difference..."

Why on earth do you think they "sort of contradict?"

They have nothing do do with each other: that something IS provable
doesn't mean that YOU must prove it.  Fermat's last theorem is
provable, but don't expect me to prove it, let alone understand the
proof.
