RE: Logical fallacy exactly

"No, it's not at all like that. It's just a reality you are just being stubborn about accepting." " A real skeptic, a real scientist, would roll up his sleeves and try to see what this directionality business is all about."

That encapsulates the error in your assumption.
You assume i have not looked at this, have not done null tests with speaker cables with music, have not had to make things work regardless of the operators mindset.

The last sentence may apply here as there is a whole category of "audio accessories" which the purchasers say have a positive effect and yet the same devices are often inaudible when the listener doesn't also know which cable or knob or what ever change has been made (aka blind).

These things tend to be harmless functionally speaking but have an exotic story, cost more than one would expect and reminds me of go-fast aftermarket car parts from a 1970's catalogue. Yes a chrome air filter cover is smoother aerodynamically but it doesn't actually increase HP.

For sure, if you make a change that people without prior knowledge identify above the "odds" as better then you have an improvement, if that impression holds with different kinds of music and tastes, that is a real improvement.
Now,none of this really matters in the home exactly what improves the listening experience as BOTH what enters your two ear holes AND what you know AND see is what makes up our conscious "3D hearing experience".

It matters most if your designing speakers that others will use where they don't know what was involved and you didn't know what type of music they will play.

Happy Thanksgiving
