Fun fact:
Excelsior? Do you seriously not know what excelsior means? Have you been drinking again?
Let Google’s Bard AI entertain us! Seriously (in a lighthearted way), I did not know what excelsior meant, at all, so I looked it up when you used it:
*******
Excelsior is a Latin word meaning "higher" or "ever upward." It is the official motto of the state of New York, and it has been used by many other organizations and individuals as a symbol of aspiration and achievement.
The word "excelsior" first appeared in English in the 16th century, and it was used in a variety of contexts, including as a name for a type of wood shavings. However, it was not until the 19th century that the word became widely associated with the concept of striving for higher things.
In 1841, the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published a poem entitled "Excelsior," which tells the story of a young man who sets out on a journey to climb Mount Everest. The poem is a meditation on the human desire for achievement, and it ends with the young man's death on the mountaintop.
The poem "Excelsior" was a great success, and it helped to popularize the word "excelsior" as a symbol of aspiration. The word has been used by many other organizations and individuals since then, including the state of New York, the Finnish Army's Special Jaegers, and the fictional Weldon Institute in Jules Verne's novel Robur the Conqueror.
Today, the word "excelsior" is still used as a symbol of striving for higher things. It is often used in motivational speeches and posters, and it is also a popular choice for tattoos and other forms of body art.
The word "excelsior" is a reminder that we should always strive to achieve our goals, no matter how difficult they may seem. It is a call to action, urging us to never give up on our dreams.

In Finnish language cotton is puuvilla, which translates literally to wood (puu) wool (villa) while wood wool is lastuvilla ("chip wool"). Calling wood wool puuvilla would be more logical as it is actually manufactured from wood, but it is what it is...
You don’t seem to understand what an analogy is, or an “incorrect analogy”. An analogy is the substitution of an example with which people are familiar to help understanding of the point under discussion which they are not familiar with (or misunderstand). Often, it is irrelevant whether that substituted example is precisely factually accurate, especially when it’s taken from another field. What is relevant is that it’s widely familiar and does in fact aid understanding. An “incorrect analogy” is one that is not actually analogous and/or doesn’t aid understanding.
And again, I never even mentioned video in the OP and even if I had, this fact is irrelevant! Many did (and many still do) equate bit depth and resolution, it was/is widely familiar and it does aid understanding, which is why marketers applied this image terminology to audio marketing in the first place! My use of this analogy was to show that it’s an incorrect analogy because it is NOT analogous: Many/Most have seen an obvious difference between a standard-res/def image and a high-res/def one, but there’s no audible difference with audio. The fact that this image analogy also falsely confuses “bit depth” with “bit rate” or total number of bits/file size is irrelevant. I don’t see how all this isn’t obvious?
I realise it was a response to a video but it was essentially an identical response to the one you tried to give me for several pages.
Here and the EDM thread, you decided to have long diatribes both attacking me and accusing me/others of not staying on topic (when the original topic had been answered and discussion moved on). Learn to chill out.
More nonsense that is demonstrably false.
[1] You don’t cross a capital T. You just kind of put a little hat on the top. Unless it’s cursive. Otherwise you only cross a lowercase t. How can you not know this?
[2] Who are these mysterious others? Do you have any objective evidence of this? This appears to be wild speculation. There is absolutely no peer-reviewed evidence or documentation of an attempted crucification for not dotting an i or not crossing a (lowercase) t anywhere in the world, much less at the sound science section forum of head-fi. Nor has anyone ever even failed to dot an i or cross a t in the sound science section of head-fi. How can you not know this too? Do you seriously not know what a crucifixion is?
I like to imagine that this is gregorios mindGreat Post!!!
