I realized after I wrote and posted my previous response that you were most likely trying to point out the various different ways that flame wars can start and in that light I agree with what you wrote. I was hoping that my original post would be taken as a joke, which is what I had intended. In fact I thought that it was rather funny but then I do have a very warped sense of humor :)
Nonetheless it does trouble and anger me when someone responses to post that has been made (by me or anyone else) that uses science and facts to make a point with the old chestnut that I/they do not have an open mind. See the thing about facts and truth is that they don't one to believe them in order for them to be true. Believing that 2+2=5 doesn't change the fact that 2+2=4, it just makes one's belief completely wrong. Which is what puzzles me about all these claims constantly being made in the audiophile world about how digital data is stored and transmitted because if what they are claiming is indeed true then computers and internet would all fail to work properly. All web pages would not display correctly, emails would a garbled mess (which might improve some of them) and simple things like check sums would be impossible. But wherever there is money to be made using FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) there will be someone willing to lie to get their hands on that money. Just as blood is thicker than water, money is the thickest of all.
