[1] That is a repeat of high-school debating tactic that was made earlier. [2] My answer remains the same: pink elephants don't exist even though there is no research on their existence.
1. Even a high-schooler should know what a fallacy is and what science is for!
2. And your answer remains WRONG! Dr. Mike Chase; "We have been studying elephants in the region for nearly 10 years now, and this is the first documented evidence of an albino [pink] calf that I have come across." (Article from BBC Science Dept.). Isn't just repeating incorrect statements of fact a grade school or even pre-grade school debating tactic?
You are doing exactly what the more extreme subjectivists do. You've made up your mind about something and then are ignoring, simply ignorant of, misrepresenting or deliberately lying about the evidence in order to defend your opinion! ... "Or else you don't know how egregious of an error it is to say those things.". "If we don't correct that, then this is a Kangaroo court designed to chase off the subjectivists regardless of merit.", ""Be careful about what you know and don't know." - These are your words, thrown at bigshot and/or those who dared question your unsubstantiated opinion, which brings us right back to what I said previously, you're being "hypocritical in the extreme"! Stop making nonsense/inapplicable analogies and answer the question, where is your "evidence of absence"? Without any, you are making absolute determinations and public statements of facts, even to the point of being insulting, apparently based entirely on a fallacy. That is pretty much the exact opposite of "science", a term which you are invoking in defence of your unsubstantiated opinion?!
I'm also thinking of something like that. or indeed an EQ spreading a little too far like Amirm suggested, although I'd like to think that an audio engineer doing such a demo would know his tools. but without much data, it's all conjecture anyway.
The handful of times I've observed the phenomena, I've been using different professional, industry standard EQ plugins; Sonnox EQ, DigiDesign/Avid EQ III, DMGAudio Equality and McDSP Filterbank. I'd be extremely surprised if all of them we're shown to have such a significantly different response than indicated by their settings. I can't absolutely rule this out as a possibility though and that's the problem we have here (again)! I agree that we lack data and "it's all conjecture anyway", which is why I take exception to amirm's absolute determinations and use of inflammatory/insulting language.
Perhaps, if we asked NICELY, someone might even come up with a sample recording to prove that it does.....
I do remember one specific instance from many years ago but I'm certain I could not get the copyright holder's permission to distribute/post it. I've observed it a few other times but can't remember exactly which tracks. This sort of thing is quite common, even after 25 years of doing this almost every working day, I still quite regularly encounter strange/surprising/unexpected phenomena. When necessary or when I have the time, I try to find a definitive explanation but often I don't have the time and I have to simply just accept the phenomena without explanation or change something to avoid the phenomena if I think it may cause an issue. Such is the case here. Furthermore, the instance I remember most clearly involved a splash cymbal, a snare drum and an electric guitar, a very common scenario but the phenomena I observed is very rare. This indicates a very specific set of variables are required. For example, a fairly exact balance between the instruments and a fairly exact frequency response/balance of harmonics of each of the instruments. Unless I'm just very lucky, it's likely to take an inordinate amount of time to discover and reproduce those variables. I might put it on my list of things to experiment with/investigate during studio downtime but it's not going to happen anytime soon.
