4. Is it not fair to call somebody who wilfully fails to follow a method he
knows to be the only one that yields a true result unintelligent?

"willfully fails to measure" - is this the same as "does not have measuring
equipment"?
"the only method" - you have yourself said that in audio we both measure and
listen
"someone who wilfully fails to measure is unintelligent". Correct me if I
appear to be wrong here, but I thought that the most widely accepted methods
for measuring intelligence were intelligence tests. I'd just include a
statement from one of the most compulsive measurers on the ng which is about as
hypocritical as you are likely to find:
"Character assassination seems to be the only debating tool you tubie vinylite
bigots have left"

I'm not talking about measuring, Andy - I'm talking about listening.
Hi fi is all about listening, just as audio - the designing and
building end - is all about measuring AND listening. But I'm talking
about listening in an environment where tester bias is not a factor.
This is a field in which you have experience and expertise beyond that
of most of the group. Yet you persist in making what must for,
somebody in your field, be schoolboy howlers.

That's a fair point.
