And I'm just saying I think there should be. Otherwise, there's not much point. I mean, there's nothing preventing technical discussions from taking place in the other forums. There are however rules against the discussion of or demanding DBT's in some of the other forums. And as long as that's the case, I think Sound Science should be the compliment of that. People can talk about "how it sounds" in those other forums, but here they'll need to back it up with something more than "I trust my ears." Either that or they can post elsewhere.
I don't see why this should be such an unreasonable request.

Why? An argument doesn't stand or fall based on the degrees or experience the person making the argument has. Arguments stand or fall on their own merits. And it doesn't require someone with a degree or extensive experience to legitimately question or challenge an argument.

I've pointed out before that there never have been any rules set regarding the kinds of posts that are allowed in the Sound Science forum. There is a rule about keeping discussion on-topic, however.

Maybe we should be strict, however, and the Sound Science forum should also be limited to discussion by people whom have either an appropriate degree relating to electronic engineering or whom have extensive experience designing audio electronics?
