So you can't believe yourself? I quote you word for word:
I believe most people cannot tell them apart at high bit rates, yes. Again, I've seen the results of quite a few ABX tests and so far I've not seen a positive result. That doesn't mean nobody can tell them apart, I never claimed that. However I don't believe you ('you' was in italics and clearly pointed to me where the rest was in normal font) can. And it's easy to prove me wrong. And if you do, then I'll congratulate you on your remarkable hearing.
So if some claim I was being vitriolic here, it was only in response to the same.
Over and out...
I'm glad you quoted me. Now please go and look up the word "vitriolic".
And if you read the entire quote back to yourself, calmly, you'll see that I believe there is a chance you can.
You see how I used the word "believe"? If I had been absolutist, I would have said "You can't" rather than "I don't believe you can".
I do not personally believe there is a human-audible difference because I have a) tested it myself, scientifically, for my own benefit, and b) never seen a positive result posted.
That doesn't mean to say that I am right.
