Evil Emperor
Taller Than Stalin
There seems to be a lot of false justification going on to explain why this test can't work instead of trying to find a way to win a pair of expensive loudspeakers.
Personally, if I thought there was a cat in hell's chance of winning the things, I'd take the test, win those dreadful speakers and say "Helllooooo eBay!" That would cover the time and money involved in setting up the test if was winnable. I'd probably be up by a grand or two.
I guess the problem is most of you don't think it's winnable. And because of that, rather than admit the cognitive dissonance inherent in knowing simultaneously that your electronics don't make a difference (but pretending to yourself that they do), you invent a series of obstacles and criticisms of the test instead.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. After all, isn't this the day we nailed an imaginary man to an imaginary tree so that a chocolate rabbit can lay eggs?
