Unlikely to be of any interest, as far as I can tell Mr. B made some money chipping cars in the 70's to defeat the emissions controls. In the same era folks were selling illegal PA's for CB radios. Definitely a low rider.
The entire purpose of asking.
I've been around the military a lot. As with everything government, a large portion is BS grade with grease up till their armpits.
As with everything corporate and/or government, a small portion is quality grade, grade A has to been found with tweezers.
Mr Bybee does not have the smell of the latter, but a Crisco fragrance*

The same thing that he did as a "consultant to Richard Feynman on superconductivity."
This Jack Bybee?
[Jack Bybee testifies] :: Photos and Negatives
I've googled 'Jack Bybee' and 'Bybee Feynman'.
The former yielded only that link unless it was about those items here discussed.
The latter yielded some references to R. Feynman papers and some linguistic research credited to 'J. Bybee'.
I must assume I'm missing something.

That Feynman connection was just a particularly stupid thing that John threw out there during one of his promotional posts. I don't know if he made it up himself or was passing on a story that his business partner told him to disseminate. Feynman never mentioned him in any papers, and of course, since he's dead, it's a safe lie.
The linguist is Joan Bybee.

I think that much of the medical placebo success rate is do to the attention and focus provided by the testing medical team. When you go to your family doctor, first you wait in a crowded waiting room then the doctor decides on a treatment protocol for your medical situation and you leave. In the test several people fuss over you and you set self-fulfilling expectations. You also control other parts of your life more carefully. (but this is only true in some situations)
SY, you have gone too far. I DON'T LIE or deliberately tell tales about anything audio. Jack Bybee told me that he worked with Feynman, and he constantly followed up with discussions with me about his time with Feynman, where he was a consultant to Feynman on superconductivity. Topics that I have sometimes been able to follow up on afterward.
Bybee's 'story' is full of 'spaces' because Jack just cannot talk about certain portions of his past work. In fact, he continually discourages me from trying to defend him by recalling here what he has told me. He doesn't want to get into trouble by going over some 'shifting' line between classified and unclassified. Even the unclassified is often proprietary, like the 'resistor' used in the Bybee.
Scott, Jack did go into the business of 'rechipping' autos, etc for a number of years. Apparently, the government did not close him down. So what?

How does that work in tests where BOTH groups got placebos though?
Mind you, arguing with a believer in homeopathy is worse than arguing iwith a believer in magic cables and flooby dust capacitors.

BQP's do affect/effect systems IME.
The affect/effect is variable according to the quality of the system.
JC has commented that BQP are economic justified/useful on high end systems.
My experience is that the worse/cheaper the system the greater the long term sonic enjoyment improvement......interestingly.
Does it really matter.....we are discussing a product, not a personality.
Get off the Whizz.

That the likes of BQP can fundamentally change the timbre/sound/impact/realism of pretty much any audio system.
I said 'change', no assertions of unspecified improvements or converse.

Of course, Max. That is about all that I can say about the BQP's too. I have tried to find an explanation from physics books, and only gotten suggestive hints as to the nature of electron behavior regarding BQP devices.
I also agree that cheaper stuff can be improved with BQP's as I have done it over a long period of time, but it is not cost effective, if you have to pay for them.
