So you don't think the subject of the test is a part of the protocol? That's the primary point of contention both sides have mentioned. Yes, the cable is a part of the protocol. Are there additional things said behind the scenes that might also have been issues? Sure, I don't have any way of knowing that and you don't either.
Did you take weasel lessons from Randi?
The man flat out lied in the Gizmodo interview.
"We're not going to go for [Fremer's] reference cables," Randi told us in an exclusive interview. "We're testing Pear Anjou cables. That was the original test.
That was NOT the "original test." This was the "original test," as stated by Randi himself in his post declaring the challenge over when Pear backed out.
We are asking you [Michael Fremer] – and/or Adam Blake – to significantly differentiate between a set of $7,250 Pear Anjou cables and a good set of Monster cables, or between a set of $43,000 Transparent Opus MM SC cables and the same Monster cables – your choice of these two possible scenarios… This would have to be done to a statistically significant degree, that degree to be decided.
If you need any more than that to see that the man's a weasel, then you'd make a good cult member.
