if there are better systems in an absolute sense, there exists a best system. if there exists a best system , it must satisfy certain criteria.
the criteria established are arbitrary , because they cannot be proven true or false.
rather , by definition they are opinions.
the only thing that is absolute is that which can be mathematically proven.
so doug, your logic is invalid. remember, music is an aesthetic medium, not mathematics or boolean logic. aesthetics are based upon taste.
is there a best painting, or best book or best movie ? i think not, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and quality of sound is purely dependent upon the listener. you cannot argue otherwise such that your arguments represent knowledge and hence certainty.
there is no certainty associated with the statements you have made, only probability.
