I don't disagree with that statement. What I disagree with is a blanket attribution, even to the audiophiles here who have stated they did not hear burn in - that they must not know how to listen, or have damaged hearing (or are lying), etc. etc.
It should be taken as a fact that some well qualified listeners hear burn in. Just as it should be taken as a fact that some do not. What we need to determine is what is going on, that allows for both of these to be true.
This is what we need to do. To add, in order to figure out why some people hear it, and some don't. However, in order to do this you have to accept both sides, some people hear it, some don't. Labeling one side a placebo or a liar doesn't accept that truth, it denies it and you can't move forward. Essentially, you dig yourself into a hole.

It's useless to argue about this IMHO. If you believe it from your experience, then it works for you. Vice versa.
What really matters is what works for YOU - whether $5 earbuds or $500 IEM's. I personally found the best (oddly and fortunately the cheapest) for my iphone 4s. I couldn't be any more happy for the couple and they just like each other.
I think the the argument has been around the wrong question, it's not does burn in happen or not. The real question should be why do some people experience burn in and some don't. And this answer will work for everyone. It's not really useless, it's interesting and can actually answer some questions.
