@Broko, in writing a reply post to Gregorio I realised where most of the friction might be coming from & I wanted to clarify something with you
"Finally "magic" Vs "mysteries" I have never used the word "magic" but I do find auditory perception both fascinating & mysterious. I do understand that there are lots of unanswered questions & aspects yetto be worked out about it's processing. Given this, I am of the opinion that our measurements are not sophisticated enough to map to our perceptions. Now this is maybe where I differ from the body of posters here & where the friction comes from - if every time I raise an issue someone say well show me the measurements to prove it, then this becomes fractious. Broko stated "actually use this section for the reason it is here - to actually delve into the true science (known and unknown) about audio. By doing this everyone might learn something" If in this section we can't discuss what's unknown about sound science (which to me includes auditory perception) then I obviously misinterpreted the section title."
Can I ask - is this section just for the "known" science i.e those that have "proof" or is it an area for also discussing what we don't know?
Edit: Your example of my point as obfuscating & gaoding & off the point I would like to respond to. When i stated exactly what you just did that time was an inherent part of sound & not just amplitude & frequency, I was told that frequency involves time - this to me is obfuscating & off the point - we get it again in Gregorio's last post. So I believe you are misrepresenting me in that quoted text - I already gave pretty much the same explanation as you but was answered with "frequency contains time" as if my point was somehow stupid or moot. I gave the simple example that I did as my explanation obviously failed to be read or understood.
