Have you subjected your roasted beans to double blind taste tests to scientifically prove they taste better? If not, you are obviously just fooling yourself about their superiority! :) Along a similar vein...I got a charcoal grill against last summer after many years with gas only, and my wife and I were ecstatic about how much better burgers and steaks were on the charcoal grill...until I read that double blind taste tests have "proven" that for meats cooked for as short a time as those, people cannot actually distinguish gas vs. charcoal grilling! Really? Is that people with no sense of taste?? (Like those "tin ears" that can't hear differences in speaker cables?) I had gas-grilled burgers for the first time in several months recently because I didn't want to spend much time out in the cold, and I didn't finish mine because it was so tasteless, relative speaking. But of course this is all in my head--a "double blind test" has proven it!! Actually what it does is add more reasons for me to be skeptical about many double blind testing protocols and whether the results of such tests truly have any general applicability or not. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85590 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
