And that makes the two of you.
People, stop the lousy rhetoric and BS. What is the extraordinary claim here at stake? "Expensive power cords make an audible difference."
Hopefully, we agree on the fact that
that is the claim in question here.
I think we also agreed already on the fact that the side making the extraordinary claim is the one where the burden of proof lies. So if there's anything to prove here, is that claim in question.
But
I'm challenging that claim, people, in case you didn't notice.
I'm not proving anything, and I don't have to prove anything. It's the side advocating the extraordinary (and challenged) claim the one that would need to prove anything, if there's anything to prove here.
Haloxt at least recognized that you aren't interested in providing said proof:

That's ok. But then, don't pretend that the claim is fact and will stop being challenged just because you believe in it.
Therefore, I'm not presenting any "argument" in support of any claim that is being challenged here. So I don't know whatever circularity you guys are supposed to be referring to in an "argument" that comes from me. I've no argument to make circular here, people. So stop the BS.
I'm advocating skepticism, have already
said it. I'm pointing to the fact that you haven't provided appropriate evidence for
your extraordinary claim, and I've provided easy to understand explanations and analogies, and links to cognitive biases and how our senses can fool us, to possibly spark more skepticism in whoever is reading here about this claim being challenged. That's all.
