He was probably talking about dark matter/dark energy, possibly out there in galaxies and the universe. He was unlikely to be talking about audio electronics in our homes, and might conceivably be concerned to hear that his remarks might be taken out of context and misapplied to audio - unless of course you are suggesting that dark matter/energy might explain some of the mysteries which allegedly exist in audio.
People with genuine knowledge are usually acutely aware of the boundaries of that knowledge. People lacking knowledge sometimes like to pretend that everyone else is as confused as they are. And why does 'knowledge' always have to come from 'wise Apache women' or the like?
Zzzzz.... more pseudo-phycho babble.
Also understanding and experience are needed in order to judge wisdom, unlike judging wise musings. 😀
words vs meaning and attitudes
Nice to know you understand my meaning.
I like it.
Obviously, some people wouldn't like it.

That's a compelling, logical, and well-structured argument. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Zzzzzz. did anyone say something interesting or new? no? Zzzzzz
Did you pay for a ticket? 😀
Richard paid for his 'ticket' 30 years ago with his research on caps, etc. He is famous for it. You were not in this country at the time, so you might have missed it.
You've already learned that semantics are very important here. No conceptualizing allowed, even if it makes sense. Stick to literal engineer speak, please. Don't crack a smile or loosen up, even briefly. Make sure that anything you write can be verified by people much smarter than you and don't make any fast moves...Zzzzzz. did anyone say something interesting or new? no? Zzzzzz
Other than those few basic rules, enjoy yourself. Oh, I forgot, nothing new or out of the obvious frame of reference, even if it might be interesting to discuss. Too stressful!
My take is: all things should be measurable; you just have to perceive their existence before you can figure out how to measure them. Thanks for the fresh input, obviously well seasoned.

Your very welcome, MB. Anytime. I was over at Headphone amp land when i saw JC was here and my neighbor N.Pass was too. So, I thought to add a thing or two. But, I sure could have used your advise before hand! 🙂 Thx -RNM
By my bedside I keep a copy of End of Science by John Horgan.
I recommend it to everyone, the title not quite accurately describing the book.

A great book.

So, why does he expect from us here and now, 30 years later, to entertain him saying something interesting and new? 😀
JC - the cap article in Audio came about the same way -- Metadata. A few and then a lot of people heard changes with cap type changes.
So, I put out some info in LTE about dielectric constants and later DA info that caught the attention of W.Jung who wanted to do an article together. I also added DA when it seemed like a correlation to descriptions and developed a test circuit and later FFT on the data. end.
Now I understand that some coupling application DBX shows it doesnt matter. So be it.
[BTW TRW asked to use that Audio article for their new engineer training on caps].
But, the servo concept I put forth to W.jung is a better fit for this group here as it has little controvercy - just an engineering solution to some design problems.
The other examples here - like the cross-over decay time correlating with loss of details in the region etal I think deserves more attention ... A little harder to do an ABX for that but maybe someone here could figure it out to see if it matters. Now that would be entertaining!
Thx

It's hard to tell through the sneering. Perhaps it would be better if he and you stuck to technical arguments, which will stand or fall on their merits- and the results of experiments.
We discussed already technical details thoroughly and found that there is no direct proportion between DA and distortions, and they don't have cause-effect relations, even in cases when correlation exists.
