This kind of thing encourages burn out not burn in , both psychological in nature all the same .

More understanding of the individuals neurology/psychology is needed , its there we should look before anything else . If one did this , this bullshit would never get off the ground.

Alas its the meatsack that's almost always unreliable and ultimately at fault.

I get it. You are right. I am only ask you to accept unsolicited customer testimonials, not those from the manufacturer.

Customer testimonials are always sighted and not statistically relevant blind tests.
The fact that you hear it too simply suggests you are human and can fall for the same pitfalls.

Doing a proper (statistically) valid blind test should not be a problem for a man with your experience. It also will cost nothing but time only as parts do not seem to be an issue.

You ask 'us' to accept unsolicited customer testimonials (people who are fanboys and had expectations).
Do you accept negative comments from disappointed customers just as easily ?

We only ask for some 'evidence' and some records of well performed blind tests.
