"True. Do what floats your boat. But don't foist off voodoo science on
unsuspecting newbies looking to use a SB Touch in their music system as
"required mods to get the best out of your Touch." 

First of all, I agree with both of these.  But, and I ask this in all
seriousness:  

Can one or both of you tell me what exactly is considered "voodoo
science"?  Is "I tried XXXX in my Touch and my music sounds better now"
defined as voodoo science?  

Since I see a lot of this sort of thing and, due to my vast lack of
knowledge in this field, I'm often totally confused by the responses. 
It seems that some folks consider this type of statetment as just one
individual's opinion (the "try it, YMMV idea) and others see it and
react as if it were heresy/voodoo science (the "without DBT and/or
published, peer-reveiwed research, etc. to back it up then it should
not be stated at all" idea). 

Is it more in HOW it's stated (as in "this'll change your life/you MUST
do this!!"), or is it just the notion that anything at all that is
stated without objective substantiation is, by definition, categorized
as voodoo?

I get that there are some things that just fly completely in the face
of current physics and acoustical science.  But it'd sure be nice for
us numpties to have some objective measure of what's generally
considered merely opinion (and left at that) and what's generally
considered total b.s.!
