Good luck with that!The stiffs whom you discuss (or, cuss and discuss) are so full of themselves they fail to see they are standing in a fertile field of hypothesis. A little poking around might benefit them tremendously, instead they erect mini-fortresses around themselves. That's why, as you say, "The audiophiles are doing the messy grunt work."
In this connection I recently published a column (indicated below) with some choice quotes about scientists and engineers. Herewith:
II. What is Truth?
Truth must be repeated again and again because error is constantly being preached around us, and not only by isolated individuals but by the majority! In the newspapers and encyclopedias, in the schools and universities, everywhere error is dominant, securely and comfortably ensconced in public opinion which is on its side.
--J. Wolfgang von Goethe
A new scientific truth never triumphs by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
--Max Planck
Probably all education is but two things: First, parrying of the ignorant children's impetuous assault on presumed truth, and, second, a gentle, imperceptible, step-by-step initiation into the lie.
--Franz Kafka
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
--Arthur Schopenhauer
An error is the more dangerous, the more truth it contains.
--Henri-Frederic Amiel
I speak truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare.
--Montaigne
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
--Winston Churchill
