I think that your average, golden-eared audiophile is just like the guy
who spends vast sums on wine because he can taste a difference.  Both,
frequently the same folks, have an innate desire to be better than the
great, unwashed masses.  Having golden ears is the perfect way to be
better than others because no one can disprove your claims.  Salesmen
keep reinforcing the belief that they are a unique and uniquely
deserving species.

Statistics about human behavior include everyone, but since everyone
includes the majority of insensitive, average Joes, the statistics
mainly apply to them and less so to audiophiles.  Therefore, the
audiophile is NOT subject to the common effects of suggestion,
physiological limitations on hearing acuity, etc.
