Debunk Pseudo Science Claims

 Is there something wrong with my message? I attempted to reply for the thread on Head-Fi. The OP of the thread is confused between 384 kHz/32 bit sampling rate and the audio frequency range of 20-20kHz.  How you classify my reply as shown in the following screen captures: 1. "no content message"? 2. "a message that has an inappropriate content"? 3. "a message that has personal attack"? If none of the above, what would be the reason for the moderator to delete my message instead of approving it? Things are getting weird and weird these days. Looks like the moderator has a lot of pressure. I hope he is doing well. Please do take care. Pseudo Science Red Flag Note: Remember the item 5 I mentioned in  Measurement accuracy, precision and Pseudo Science (no-pseudo-science.blogspot.com) ? i.e. 5. Somone stop you from telling the truth that is incompatible with their claim. Based on item 5 above, the stopping / deleting action put a red flag for the Pseudo Scien...

 Measurement accuracy, precision and Pseudo Science Looks like I spent way too much time these days related to my experience in a recent incident . Let's move on and come back to the focus of my blog, i.e. use critical thinking to debunk pseudo science claim How many people can tell the difference between accuracy and precision? I bet if you are into gun, you would probably know it for sure .  Look at the below graph: It should tell you what are the difference between accuracy and precision.  I bet that the understanding of the difference between accuracy and precision is so basic for any scientist/engineer. I was proven to be wrong again (thanks to various "audio science" forums and they are really eye-opening for me to see something I didn't see before). A lot of "scientist/engineer" can't tell the difference. "Precision part":  two DACs are measured to have very high SINAD. People in the "audio science" forums would call these two ...

 Jude (owner of the Head-Fi.org), did you receive my complaint letter? A fellow member in Head-Fi.org knew that I sent a complaint letter (via "Contact us") for a recent incident on Head-Fi.org. He suggested that I can reach out to the onwer of the Head-Fi.org and make him aware of what happened. He sent me the following information regarding the owner: I am pretty surprised to find out that the moderator disabled my PM function. As shown below, there is no "Start a Private Message" button for me. I cannot reach Jude. I was able to start PM with a few members before but now I am no longer be able to start any new PM with any member. Thank you, Mr moderator. Why the moderator is so afarid of me? He did all he can to control my speech.  I am quite concerned with his mental health. I hope he is ok (as he mentioned that " he is going to be ok  (item 5 on the link)", i.e. he is not ok now.   Jude, as a owner of Head-Fi.org, you have the solo  discretion to de...

Soft ban? Control of Free Speech? Why?  It has been more than 12 hours since I posted the following reply to a post: Is my writing is really so complicated that it would take more than 12 hours to approve it? Do they understand what I said in the post? Or they are thinking if I have any hidden message/agenda with my post (like the hidden message that the moderator would like to deliver  (see item 5 in the link))? Or they are thinking I am going to play a manipulative game with my post? I have no idea but I am sure that they are afraid of my speech/writings. They want to create more obstacles for my speech/writing to control it (or hoping me to stop totally) Again, who would be so afraid of free speech? Usually someone in authority who would like to hide the truth from the general public would need the control of free speech. Agree?

 Galileo, Control of Free Speech, and pseudo science in 2024 Free speech is an universal right but there are still many places such right is a rarity even in 2024. One of such places is known as "audio science forums". Do we still remember the story of Galileo? I just saw the following article:  Four centuries after Galileo was silenced, UK students are still curbing free speech (theconversation.com) In the above article, it mentioned "no platform". Galileo faced the "no platform" issue; some students also faced the same issue. No platform? Whenever you attempt to speak a truth that is incompatible with the believes of the "audio science community" (aka cult community ), you will be bullied and attacked first, then put on control of free speech, and finally be silenced/vanished completely. (I already blogged a lot of my experiences for the last two months. Feel free to check it out  as I don't bother to list them one by one here) It is almost...

Official complaint about the abnormal behaviours done by Sound Science Forum Moderator on Head-Fi.org I sent the following complaint letter to the Head-Fi.org (via "contact us") just now (27 May 2024 10:54 am EST).  Not sure if they care to reply but it looks like that they  did something last time after I sent them my other complaint letter . What happened this time? The moderator just deleted my thread I created today (27 May 2024) regarding the topics of   Is square wave used in electronic music? | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org Looks to me that the moderator just want to ban me for the sake of banning me.  Anyway, here is my official letter sent to them. ======================================================================= Dear Head-Fi.org management team,   I am writing to lodge my second complaint / express my concern about the experience I had in the "Sound Science" forum on Head-Fi.org. I sent my first letter on 11 May 2024 regard...

 Catching Fire, Audio Science Forums, Pseudo Science Claim, Brainwash, and Awakening! Catching Fire is the 2nd movie of the Hunger Game series. The movie is very interesting. The following are the themes of the movie (from wikipedia): How these terms Catching Fire , Audio Science Forums , Pseudo Science Claim , Brainwash, and Awakening  can be linked together? Audio Science Forums and Pseudo Science Claim I'd explained why I created my blog and it shows clearly how audio science forums are linked with pseudo science claims.  Most of the writings in my blogs revealed the Pseudo Science Claim / behaviours happening in these "Audio Science" forums. I found that most of the senior members (and the moderators) are probably having an Electrical Engineering background. Their level of understanding of Audio Science is probably (at most) up to a level that an average electrical engineer could master.   Monty's video is a good example. Good mastery in Audio Science (and...

One of the major characteristics of Pseudo Science: Contradiction. I just had an interesting discussion  with someone in the Head-Fi sound science forum. As usual, they came up with contradictions and stopped me right the way as they knew that I would dig out more contradictions from them during the discussion. Example 1: Is square wave an illegal input signal for digital audio? Someone said no, it is not illegal: Someone said yes, it is illegal: Interestingly, they agreed that all these quotes are ok (i.e. compatible with each other) as shown below: Hmm...  1. All square waves are band-limited    2. square waves, another signal with infinite bandwidth I believe that any sense people would know that item 1 and item 2 are contradicting with each other.   Example 2:    We were talking about band-limited square wave, i.e.  To be exact, the above was generated by the following: One of the senior member in the sound forum stated the following (i...

 It's All Dishonest! I found the above picture is quite interesting. I saw it on the  last post of my thread that discussed Hi-Res music on Head-Fi.org The last post was added brutelly  by the moderator to an already closed thread in order to "conclude" or "summarize" the thread. FYI, the thread was deleted by the moderator and somehow magically re-surfaced as a " closed " thread in a day or two.  The last post was added about 12 hours later after the thread was re-surfaced as "closed" I checked the source of the above picture, it was from  testbook.com It defined Intellectual Honesty as: Hmm... looks to me that the  pseudo science creators are indeed showing Intellectual Dishonesty. I believe that most of these pseudo science creators are smart but they are also acting with intellectual dishonesty.  Why? The pseudo science creators fit the following (at least): - Being deceptive fudging - Pretending To Answer Questions While Not Answering...

Why people create Pseudo Science? There are quite a few different reasons why people create pseudo science claims / beliefs. 1. Creators who want to sell stuffs One of the obvious reasons is to benefit from people who are lazy (or lack of critical thinking). Many people take the  mental shortcut  and  believe   comments from experts  or  reputable source , like  various Science forum  without a second thought.  For example, someone create pseudo science claim like  magnetic wristbands improve your sporting performance  in order to sell their stuffs. 2. Creators who want to cover up their mistakes so they can look good The other group of pseudo science creators are not for any "tangible" reason. They don't get a cent by promoting the questionable claims they created.  Then why they still created pseudo science claims? Most of the time, they just made a mistake when they made such claims initially (due to mistake or mis-unders...
