Because one signals loyalty to a group by loudly professing belief in its fictions. The more ridiculous the fiction, the stronger the loyalty demonstrated to the group. Anybody can believe proven facts. Believing obvious bullshit marks you as truly loyal. Just like anyone can get a henna tattoo on their ass, the trustworthy ones tattoo their face permanently.They're part of the same extended social networks and talk to the same people and listen to the same influencers and read the same marketing BS. Not much of a mystery.

As a self-admitted crazy audiophile and a 50-year veteran in designing audio equipment, I've always believed that while numbers and graphs are crucial, they don't tell...www.psaudio.com

Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?
Please as I haven't been disrespectful with you I hope you can can be the same with me. And also you can't say I don't heard those differences because I have. I am not a lier and you don't get to treat me as that. You are protected by the anonymous forum, your screen and keyboard. In person I...www.audiosciencereview.com
It basically boils down to what @DonR mentioned above. Age-old tiered arguments that we've heard all before, dressed up in a nice sob story about feelings.

As Feynman said, 'the easiest person to fool is yourself'.
As I said upthread, 'people in groups mostly suck'

The new joiners also has the same mindset. From their point of view, they are also sure they know it from their experience and they want to “teach” the forum about the forum is wrong. So it will never end.What’s left is mainly people joining newly ignorant or not knowledgeable of the facts.
Not knowing is ok, no one can know everything. It gets tiring when people refuse to learn.
This is AudioScienceReview, not AudieExperienceReview. If they come to teach, they should come to teach science, otherwise not be surprised to get backlash.The new joiners also has the same mindset.

If it never ends so be it, after all there are still flat earthers trying to teach, science has a long history of dealing with this crap.The new joiners also has the same mindset.
