2x6,

Why would you believe the Earth is round, or that it orbits the sun, or that light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second if you have not tested those "theories" yourself? I'm just sayin'...

I'm certainly not a doubter of science pm..( I do have a master's degree in Electrical Engineering--science is what I do)...I'm more a doubter of the actual scientific content of that article.

I'm not saying people shouldn't doubt. Doubt is also a basic tenet of science: don't trust your results until you'se seen them over and over again. And then once you publish your results, it's your peers' turns to doubt your results.

Science is really just a big doubt-fest.

well, i am gonna put my final $.02 cents in, then i am done with this thread. these scientific-vs-ears threads just get old.

eightman- hold the avocado?? are you nuts, they are delicious.

my bottom line comes down to this.. i will buy and keep the audio equipment that sounds good to MY ears. regardless of what any scientific testing, or someone elses ears thinks, if i like it i will keep it.

i am not a scientist, or an audio expert. but, i am an expert in what I like, so thats what I go with.

ya'll have fun beating this to death..

I really like avocados, but eat them rarely due to their expense and perceived negative impact on my weight.

I believe that the oatmeal I've been eating for breakfast is helping my overall level of health.

Finally, I enjoy listening to my hi-fi much more than I enjoy this thread.

I don't get why you guys make this stuff so important and so complicated. As to my opinion on the meat of this thread, if you could just sneak the phrase "rat's a$$" in there somewhere, I think you'd just about have it.

AMEN, tom!!

your preaching to the choir here!

and avocados are 'good' fat. healthy, so i read.. one or two a week never hurts!

I could be wrong here, but I believe current evolutionary theory holds that present-day ape species and humans have evolved from common ancestors. Those species are extinct. Humans are not descendants of any modern ape species, but descendants from a line of homonids that have at their root an ancestor in common with the simian line.
A seemingly small distinction, but...

not sure what all that means, but i can sure eat the hell out of some bananas!!

OK guys.. i know i am saying nothing constructive.. i am just trying to get to 300(addict) posts. bear with me..

Truth be told...I'm just trying to become a "local"...

Ahhh...geeez John...you beat me to it. That's what I get for taking a break from reading the forum...to work.
