However, most of the conflicts are not exactly about "whether", they are about "how much" or "ever more". > Comfort is subjective too, isn't it? Definitely. Which makes me wonder is why we (collectively) place so often the subjective needs for comfort above subjective needs (of other people, of course) for other things. > We have a furniture store in Tallahassee that sells Scandinavian style > furniture.

I know what you mean... when I first came to the USA, everything seemed so big, and this still continues when I come back after some time abroad, especially in Europe.

Of course: sound engineering could do a lot of good here. The sad part of the story is (as you pointed out in an earlier post) that many technicians, engineers and scientists don't advise their clients properly and spread half-truths and outright false statements -- which they then believe, as coming from someone with some sort of credentials.
