science is the only way to tell what your ears hear.

That is the only way to tell in a reliable manner. If you don't believe that and it appears that you don't, that is unfortunate. I suppose acoustics was arrived without the scientific approach? Without DBT listeing?

Science cannot measure imaging.

You think? Perhaps phase shift between the two front speakers cannot be measured? But why measure it and spec it? As soon as you change your acoutic environment, it affects the phase shift at your ears.

Science cannot measure hearing more tightness in percussion, or space and air around instruments.

You really think this? I bet the scope can detect what you perceive that better than you can imagine it, at times.

So to rely so purely on science in a medium that requires that you listen, can sometime make you walk away with half a picture.

One thing to measure it which you stated cannot be done which would imply something beyond science and the physical world, kind of supernatural, and, another having a real need for it as these are greatly affected by the acoustic space, speakers and recording quality.
Perhaps you deal in mysticism?


I will use what God gave me(my ears) and listening to those things that need listening to, and watch things that require my sight.

Unfortunately he also threw in a monkey wrench, the brain that can confuse the issue, make stuff up and fill in blank information or a different bit when nothing has changed. But, hey, blame science for that for discovering it. Throw it out. Burn them at the stake.
