It's amazing how so many intelligent people are unable refrain their emotions towards certain objects (and industry players in general, like manufacturers and reviewers), in the very "loving" attitude that prevents them from approaching and discussing the tool rationally. But what puzzles me the most is why many of these hifi/camera/watch/car/gear "infatuated" people invest so much in defending "their" brand and so little in learning about the objects and putting them to judicious and creative use.

I think it has absolutely nothing to do with emotional involvement but it rather comes from sense of action. A person who knows what he or she does perfectly welcomes critiques and looks forward to use collaborate with critiques. Any creative person would love to see the result of his/her efforts seriously analyzed and seriously assessed. The seriousness of analyses is the key and what is done properly it is very valuable for anybody. In contrary, the people who are idiots and who have no sense of action or idea of what they do, they do not understand the critique’s objective and the analyses’ motives. In case of Jonathan Weiss and the majority of the similar to him empty-headed marketing idiots there is no slightest understanding what and why they do the things and what they are trying to accomplish. All that those people have is just repeating somebody else’s phases without even understanding what they are saying. This is why when they exposed to any besides slaverush ass-kissing they god scared as they need to spend 10 month of internet browsing to learn what the hell they were told. I am not kidding - this is how this work with people who are clueless.

BTW, this is not only in audio, this how the things works everywhere. With some of my former clients where I was in position to interview and to higher developers I never torched them a barrage of technically different questions. I usually asked a “loaded” question with a conditional (this is the key) answer, was given a single answer and informed the candidate that the answer was incorrect. Then I observed the reaction. Among all people the only people who truly knew what they know/do were able to rise protest defending own answer. What is always important to me was not the rightness of the answer but the LEVEL at which a candidate was able to defend his/her view and the depth of own horizons into which s/he able to dig defending own position. I am very proud by the fact the any single person I even hired was phenomenal, in many case better then myself.
