Hey Mark. Are A/B tests worthless?

Here's what one obvious "ignoramous" said on the subject:

I commend you on the accurate description. :-P

Oh really! Would you care to post your resume so that we may all be enlightened as to how much more knowledgeable and accomplished you are than Professor Greenspun.

You believe because he is a professor, that he must be correct? I really don't care what his resume looks like, his statements on his link are presumptious. Lots of claims. No substantiation.

In reference too his preamp difference claims, their are two possibilities: (1) a measurable difference is present that is of audible significance [and/or] (2) pyschological bias.

I didn't say I believed him - you made that up in your own mind. I simply asked Mark a question.

I note you have a big, loud, accusatory mouth, but refuse to tell us anything about yourself.

Well, let’s see what we can tell about you from your own words:

From that alone, we might suspect that you are either very careless or a terrible speller. I’ll bet Philip Greenspun would not let something like that go out with his name attached.

Slick. Real slick. True, you did not claim to believe him. But, your statements in the original post, do seem to infer that you did. As far as my spelling, not really relevant to the issue(s) at hand. Since we get to play the 'if I was him game', let me have my turn. :-) If I was Philip Greenspun, I would rather be guilty of careless spelling as opposed to the multitude of statements made as facts on his site, that are not established as such.

Interesting how now pc uses the spelling tactic to attack ones capability. He must have read too many e-stat messages attacking me on that issue. If that is all the ammo they have, let them enjoy their victory

You must have read some of jneutron's posts about his exchane with Dr/professor Hawksford about Hawksford's paper 'Essexs Echo?' Yes, he is a professor at an English U.

I did. And so?

This is not a battle of the experts. This particular thread is a question I asked Mark about a statement from someone who is emersed in a scientific environment. That's all.
