Let Richard Feynman helps you to understand what's Hi-Res music

 Richard Feynman: "Let me tell you something..." Do you know who is Richard Feynman ?  I bet most people know him as a Nobel Prize winner in Physics . Do you know he is also a great educator too? There is something known as The Feynman Learning Technique Basically, what he means is that: Step 1: Pretend to teach it to a child The truth is,  if you can’t clearly and simply define the words and terms you are using, you don’t really know what you’re talking about . Writing helps you think because it gives you nowhere to hide Step 2: Identify gaps in your explanation Identifying gaps in your knowledge—where you forget something important, aren’t able to explain it, or simply have trouble thinking of how variables interact—is a critical part of the learning process. Step 3. Organize and simplify Organize them into a narrative that you can tell from beginning to end. Step 4: Transmit (optional) If you really want to be sure of your understanding, run it past someone. (my add: W...

Pseudo Science vs Science? "They are the same but different!"

 Pseudo Science vs Science? "They are the same but different!" After a few more rounds of discussions with different people on the internet. It looks to me that the difference is still not clear to most people. Let's see if I can do it better this time: What is pseudo science claim?  If you use “ 1+1=2 ” to justify something like “ earth is flat ”, these kind of claims are pseudo science claim. Do you agree? For example, let’s look at  one  of the infamous pseudo claims in ASR: they claim “Hi-Res is useless” (aka “earth is flat” in my analogy above) by stating the fact that like “you won’t be able to hear higher than 22k Hz unless you are a  Gray Moth ” (aka “1+1=2”). To make it clear: they claim "you cannot hear frequency higher than 22k Hz" (a fact) == implies =>  "Hi-Res music is useless"  Do you consider the above deduction is based on logical deductive reasoning ? Do you see the same ( wrong ) logical reasoning (for the "flat earth...
