You are a very intelligent person, but the arrogance in some of your responses are too funny!



Thank you for the flowers.

But really, I think you are confusing arrogance and someone who is simply adament because he just may know something about what he's talking about.

So let me get this straight, if you can not hear/repeat something 100%, then it does not count because it is not possible to hear/repeat it 100%?



Pretty much. Example given concerned Absolute Pitch. If you can't identify the note heard 100% of the time, it wouldn't be called "absolute" now would it?

What about allowing for the bad codecs, if everyone listen to the same bad codec (and there is a lot of music converted with them out there) , and "here" the difference between the mp3 & the wave, does that make them wrong to say that they can hear the difference?



Of course not, but your given example also doesn't have very much to do with what we're discussing here. And if you read my entire post up there, I believe I did indeed talk about the differences in codecs. If there is any assumption on my part at all here, it is that you would have done your blindfold using a reasonably good codec, if not the best available.

And usually does make it. I am sure that as a musician you usually play your instrument 100% dead on, but if you blow a couple parts thru out a gig does that mean you are a amateur, or do you keep your stats as a good musician because you "usually" play it 100%?



The 100% part has always been my goal, yes. Amateur or pro doesn't matter here. Matter of fact, the amateur may just have more at stake than the pro. From the French, the word means, literally, "love of the craft". A pro merely got paid to do the job. Common misconception nowadays, I once wrote a little diatribe about that on another forum, one of the moderators made it permanent, misprints and all: What's an amateur?

Different levels of assumptions going on I reckon... [/qyote]

I try to assume nothing, which is why I will call out anyone trying to make the subjective become the objective. . Merely trying to pass on information that I know to be true. Measurably, demonstrably true.

I guess we will agree to disagree, spelling mistakes on a Internet Forum and all....



I am hoping that you will agree to reassess. Learning is and knowledge is power.

We hope you & yours have a Great Christmas!



The same to you and yours.

(Um, is that the Royal "we"?...)
