Yes I do try to make the sequence of the info contained in the chapters dovetail from one to the next.
Sometimes I'm more successful than others.
And I did go into the sound science forum and left with this bad taste in my mouth.
They really don't do themselves any favors in that forum as far as I can tell.
And I'd love to be able to learn something of value, but the whole experience was so off putting I have no desire to return and wade thru the very poor signal to noise ratio found there.
I figure it might have something to do with a lack of socialization skills, or perhaps a lack of being able to empathize with another (different) perspective and not resort to being rude and/or insulting, sometimes in the extreme.
And they wonder why they have such a bad reputation, go figure.
And this tendency seems to have developed to the degree that their ability to share their wisdom has diminished to the point that they are more or less exclusively preaching to the choir. This is a sure sign of a downward spiral in terms of being able to effectively share their perspective and for others to learn something of lasting value.
I mean I know I'm not alone in not wanting to EVER return to that forum, and I would like to be able to tap into some of that expertise, but not with the degree of animosity that is all to prevalent.
Life is to short…
But perhaps that isn't their desire, and they just need to be 'right', regardless.
I have learned that THE most effective and efficient way of learning, is to be wrong and then learn from that experience.
But it certainly seems most are scared witless, of being wrong.
More's the pity…
This entire scenario reminds me of the saying we used to help those who find themselves in a similar situation,
"When you find yourself in a hole, the first order of business is to stop digging".
That is unless you don't mind digging so deep you drop out of sight…
