I find these statements and your attitude to be deeply offensive.
I don't recall anyone suggesting that Larry should tell us how he does what he does. A lot of people have mocked the concept that someone would ask, but nobody has actually said that he should.
The accumulation of knowledge is a cornerstone of civilization. If someone chooses to keep their own knowledge secret, they have that right. In the long run, it's a net loss, but they have that right.
What i have questioned is the assertion that some knowledge is somehow sacrosanct.
That it would be immoral for me to disassemble one of Larry's fine headphones and share my observations and theories.
This assertion is absurd and offensive.

Those in this group tend to be contemptuous of the idea of property rights and the concept of an individual's right to make a profit off his ideas. They criticize Larry for refusing to reveal some aspect of his proprietary knowledge, arguing that he has some responsibility to the head-fi community. |
