Why is the snake oil topic closed?

Fascinating debates between swiftly tilting intellects we've got here. WOW....

I think I'd like to meet Teo's drug dealer. That guy's clearly got some VERY good stuff. 

The physics of what we're dealing with here is fully explained by quantum electrodynamics. There are no mystic morphic fields. The actions of the other two forces in the universe, such as those that give rise to a black hole, have no bearing on our stereos. Why do some people keep claiming we don't know how these things work and that we can't measure them? We know EXACTLY how these forces work and we measure them from all over the universe. 

Seriously!!!
It is just snake oil, so by definition it should be fun talk

It's all good for an individual to play around with these snake oil products in private, just keep it to themselves. 
But when they come on here and tell the "gullible" that it's a fix for whatever problems they have.
Then tell the "gullible" to spend their hard earned money on them, that's when it becomes objectionable.
Especially when it makes bags of money for the voodoo'ist peddler who's selling it.

Patronizing A-Goners (anybody else out here?) by being "gullible" is what makes this thread so unpleasant. So I will ask again, what is the agenda on "my" side of all this? Should we all repent and buy Bose Wave Radio? 

what makes this thread so unpleasant.

This isn’t a "Tech Talk" thread, as there’s nothing technical being said here, not a skerrick. 
It should be moved to "Misc Audio"

Cheers George

We have no idea how sexual minorities or sex-disoriented kids happen, we do not even know all the species of animals we are exterminating on this Planet. But, Hey, we landed on the Moon and we detect black holes colliding out There, we know EVERYTHING!!!
All amps sound the same, I know......
first thing tomorrow morning I will list all my CDs and LPs on Discogs and start hi-rez download spree, is this a "certified" move?
Naim Audio claims that each one of their CD drives gets $whatever worth of special paint. Looks and feels real special to me. Is this a Snake Oil??
who to believe? Big buck companies like Bose? Anonymous WWW posts? My own ears? Suffer thru double-blind / ABX tests each time I am buying new iPhone? What a poor boy should do? (Genesis, Lamb Lies Down...)
Come on, Cheer Up!!! :-)
if folks spend $10k on Nordost, do Not talk to me about "hard-earned money"... should they spend $$$ on yet another Lamborghini instead? Or get another mistress?
Point a dimwit like myself where and how to waste my extra cash!
