We all have heard those same arguments before, time after time...So my next question is: Would you mind to propose then any valid methodology for an acceptable DBT for the believers?
Since I joined Head-fi, a few years ago, the believers never had accepted any methodology, for any blind test, I have heard off proposed by the skeptics, of course in all cases I have heard off, they have failed miserably (and no, I will not bother in trying to post the experiments, or trying to find them, if you want, do a search here and they will pop up) and the only thing they ask is for a truly scientific and statistically valid test, well now is your turn, provide one that will satisfy both fields, I think that the skeptics will have no objection in accepting any gladly, at the end we do not need to prove anything, is you who had to prove that those differences exist, and if you are really able to identify them....
Originally Posted by yotacowboy /img/forum/go_quote.gif sorry, but the big scary science words are simple statistics terms. from a statistical standpoint, you did little (actually nothing) in terms of showing that there is any validity to your test. Your findings, though admirable, have absolutely no (zero) statistical significance due to your miniscule sample size, no repeatability, and flawed experimental design - and therefore have no relevance to a population (actually, any population). sorry, but your claims of "blind testing" are "scientifically" unfounded, and by applying your own rules, your opinions have absolutely no relevance here. this is simple Statistics 101. You've been pretty adamant about your position that, unless "blind tested," any differences between audio components are simply subjective. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you've essentially fallen into simple subjective (not objective) conclusions due to the fact that your findings (with regards to any of your gear) have no significance to any group of people. please, don't muddy the clear waters of valid science with your attempts at pseudo-scientific exploits masquerading as some sort of "rule". you're only making yourself out to be someone with a lot of steadfast (and often misinformed) opinions, and little actual experience. It's a good idea not to bring up ABX or double blind, or simple blind experiments unless you actually have some actual experience conducting them and analyzing the results. Hence, the sticky at the top of this forum. pot, meet kettle. |
