Of course if we could eliminate our brains, what would be the point of audio? :] But seriously, if because human observation is not 100% accurate and reliable you conclude that we can never gain any knowledge whatsoever from human observation, then you have wiped out a lot of what is generally considered science that does indeed involve human observation. Furthermore, decisions about what to measure, how and under what conditions to measure it, and how to interpret the results (since you can virtually always measure some difference) also involve the brain and thus some degree of subjectivity. So it appears that gaining any reliable knowledge about anything is just a hopeless pursuit. :] -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
