Voodoo based on cluelessness is just as much voodoo as the voodoo based
on greed. "Let them experiment with it and see that it doesn't work"
would be a good idea in a world without a placebo effect, but
unfortunately people do hear (subjective) differences when they
experiment with totally useless tweaks, and it enforces their belief
that they work, despite there not being any objectively verifiable
difference.

fast-growing art of 'high fidelity' the quackery will bear a solid gilt
edge that will fool many people" - Paul W Klipsch, 1953
