Surely the question should be, "Whose accuracy?"


The late unlamented Stewart Pinkerton used to claim that "Audio is
engineering, music is art" or some such rot, together with its express
corollary, "When the amplifier produces exactly what is on the master
tape, the designer's job is done."


So why did Stewart drop out of the Usenet Groups, as indications are
that he has not departed this earth, or are the indications wrong?


Literary license. I wasn't suggesting that Pinko had kicked the
bucket; I imagine someone was vain as he was about his appearance will
live to be a very old, very crotchety, very boring pensioner for
several decades.


And I imagine a bitter RAO nutcake like yourself will come to inhabit
many a killfile...or mine at the very least.
