What's that? The elite rallying cry against the masses?
I simply pointed out that many people want to know if they are getting value for money in audible terms. They often want to know if buy-wiring will improve the sound, whether expensive speaker cables and interconnects will provide better sound, whether expensive amplifiers will make their speakers perform better (bass, midrange, highs, etc). While the relationship to cost is not strictly a technical question, whether this piece of equipment will perform better than that piece of equipment involves a lot of technical issues of different kinds.
Besides that, people can develop preferences for one piece of equipment over another based on non-technical issues.

>> In audio, I suspect most like reliability. Some like prestigious equipment. Some like the looks. Some like the features. Some others, like Peter Aczel and David Rich, like well-engineered equipment that is well-built accurate (more accurate than necessary), and also more capable than is required in most applications.<<

"How do you know?"
I guess I have more experience than you. You must lead a sheltered life. I've met people who have those concerns as well as others--it's hardly a complete enumeration. Peter Aczel is quite explicit about how The Audio Critic evaluates equipment.
