"Don Pearce" got all het up and spluttered...


Well, you *are* saying you have discovered new, and this news group is
the publishing vehicle of your choice. So this, I'm afraid, is where
your discovery is going to be challenged. What you claim (observe)
goes against everything that those of us who understand how CDs work
believe is possible. This makes the claim extraordinary. Of course we
can't simply say well done, we didn't know that. Such a response would
be preposterous given our knowledge (call it belief if you like). So
we say no, your hearing has been deceived in ways you are well
accustomed to from your experience in psychology.

Errr - I think you should go back and re-read the original post.

He did _not_ come in claiming to have found something new.
He reported his observations and asked if anyone else had noticed similar
effects.

Then the rest of the "every observation, unless supported by three years
research, 200 independant witnesses and a Nobel Prize in physics and/or
psychology (preferably both) is obviously a load of crap and should be shot
down in case anyone investigates and finds it has a hint of truth" jumped on
board.

Not one of you has posted anything to say that you have looked at whether
there might be any effects as originally described. None of you have cited
any evidence or research which denies the possibility that the observed
effects might actually have some basis.

All I've seen is a stream of "that doesn't fit with what I've read, and I
can't see any immediately obvious reason for it, so it must be wrong".

Now, why have I just had this sudden recall of the telephone engineer who
was laughed out of the War Office in 1940, and independantly developed the
computer that co-ordinated England's radar defences . . . .???
