The flawed assumption here - for me - is that science can measure everything that can be experienced. I agree that ears probably can't do everything that equipment can, but why is it necessarily the case that equipment can do everything ears (and a brain) can?

I know, flat earth. I get that a lot. Just making conversation.


Perhaps it's because a brain and 2 ears are far more than a microphone. 1400cc's of the most advanced processor in the universe (that we know of) and a pair of those funny, curlicued, cartilagenous wave form accumulators may discern a bit more than a mere microphone and an oscilloscope.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
