If it can't be measured it can't be of significance?

Avoid the trap of assuming "we don't know everything" is a synonym for
"we
know nothing". :-)

Actually, just to add, I used the term 'ballpark' above in relation to
quantitative methods. I do believe they're often a very useful approach
to getting things moving and understanding what's going on in a general
sense - unemployment, health, education, whatever - and music reproduction.

The 'truth to be observed' in any social realm (and a fair few natural)
needs qualitative data and analysis for a fuller understanding.

A problem on this topic is that many feel that music as reproduced is a
simple (not always single, though) objective truth, and inherently
measurable (dB, KHz, whatever) as an unassailable 'truth'. I'd agree
that measurements can get them towards what matters, but further
qualitative methods are needed.

Mind, i could be wrong ;-)

Now, off to see Blade Runner :-)
