Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?

Guys I have noticed that certain members start with technical back and forth in discussions which look like they are self serving, to prove how smart or knowledgable they are, rather then forwarding the OP's original question.

Shouldn’t these discussions be moved into a separate post about technical stuff ie the techical merits of bibolar vs mosfets for example, if these members want to do that?

I think most member don’t care if a Krell amp uses brand x or y for transistors vs a Pass or any other amp, I think most people are more concerned with what the sonic differences there are vs specific technical arguments that are not related to the sonic flavor or design methodologies that these product use to produce their sound, what do you guys think?

Dear George,
The flaw of Western thought is the 'either/or', yes/no, black/white attitude going right back to Classical Greek thought.
This is in contrast to Eastern thought which considers both side to be part of one whole.
I see you are a strong believer in the West's crowning achievement of making it all as divisive as possible.

Elizabeth I am glad you are posting again. A voice of reason and practicalness. Thank you. Yes practicalness is not yet a word in the dictionary, but I like it.

Classical Greek thought was greatly influenced by Middle Eastern thought. The other way around is also to a degree true.
One can be both a "thinker" and a "romantic", but balance will vary, yes.

Gee, and all I'm trying to do is learn about the science behind the Synergistic blue fuse which uses Quantum Inductive Coupling.  Can anyone explain that to me in a non-technical manner?
