This is a common error that many, many people make, becoming so wrapped up in the theory that they begin to treat theory like a self-sustaining reality.
And this is where it all goes wrong.
Here is an example. Acupuncture works. Surgery has been performed with acupuncture as the sole anesthetic. BUT it is not because of a meridian of energy streaming from the gallbladder etc.
We must be very careful when we build on theory because rely on making assumptions that may be wrong. We must make a theory and then TEST it, comparing it in the real world to see if the theory is sound. AFTER ALL, all theories started out based on observations of some phenomenon that was occurring in the real, physical world. In the case of sound and audio, this means listening. If you are a real scientist of audio, thus, you must listen to test your theories. If you do not listen, you are not practicing good science.
