    After mr. Ilkless post yesterday on reddit, I thought it would be fun to have a thread about the dumb shit that people in general post sometimes about "subjectivity" and "objectivity."

    For those that don't know, Ilkless makes a lot of posts about how Schiit sells snakeoil, the E40 can be EQ'd into a HD800, and amplifiers don't change a thing. I actually sent him an article that proved FR changes from amplifiers, and his response was "you can just do that with parametric equalization." He likes using big words, pretty much.

    What other dumb things have you seen posted on the internet that are either A) entirely too subjective, B) completely wrong or C) Makes Nwavguy look like a head-fier?

    Don't think Marv wants us to stoop to their level. To quote him, from not even half an hour ago:

    Some people will just never "get it", as evidenced by, it would seem, a third of the global population across history.

    Not specifically a Reddit thing but when people say stuff like, "Because there is not a way to measure that, that change you thought you heard, you didn't. It was just expectation bias"

    I get how snake oil exists and there are some bogus products out there, but don't tell me that I didn't hear something I know I did, just because I can't explain it.
