Hume: "We can't know anything for sure." Including that statement.
Given the heated discussions regarding cable burn-in (etc) maybe Hume should be the patron saint of audiophiles.
I think the problem with a Socratic model (as defined above....I know nothing about it) in regard to how it relates to the contentious topics here is that so many of them are so very subjective and that there is often a very even demarcation between believers and naysayers. Both of these are hard to overcome in a Socratic model.
Nevertheless, it certainly stands head and shoulders above personal attacks and incivility.
