That is an important point which is often forgotten in discussions on this (and the other) list. Some people tend to utter very sharp statements basing they arguments on the most elementary formulas, seen as the final word of "scientific truth". But true science is usually a much more complex affair. Not being an expert on acoustics I do not dare to make hypotheses, but would be very interested in knowing a convincing explanation of the effect under consideration, be it physical or psychological (or both?).
