A bundle of weak arguments

>>But the real issue, I think, is why you care whether people delude themselves. Is it your responsibility to save them? Who appointed you? If you are out to stop hype to increase sales, lots of luck living in a capitalist society. If you want to justify why you don't buy certain products, save your time as we are not interested.<<

...but the central one is that you presume, with your use of "we", to speak for everyone. You should have simply written "I am not interested," and I would The world is full of people who are eager to be deluded--a sucker born every minute, etc. The world is also full, as you suggest, of self-righteous missionary types determined to save these (and other) poor souls from themselves. I can't speak for AnalogBob but for myself, I tend to despise both types. But there's something very tricky--and very special--going on with this audio stuff. There is indeed truth beyond what we can measure, and in audio it all comes together. It's an intersection of science, emotion, and meaning. To me that makes it sacred, in my unreligious way. When something is sacred it deserves, not a lazy faith, but a real commitment. Ms. Belt believes what she says and has put energy into it. I think she's wrong, but I respect her passion.

But the attitude you put forward is pure laziness. "Leave us alone and let us believe whatever we want." That I do not respect.
