Simple snake oil detection

Hi there were soooo many posts asking af any given device, toy, tweak or component is snake oil.
I’m not considered to be disbeliever or engineering guru at all. All I know and use is elementary math.

If an amp worth more than new Bmw, I can kinda take that with grain of salt, but if a wire is worth more than stainway grand, I am DEFINITELY sure snake oil is there without even questioning if this particular product makes sense 

So now any audio device can be plugged into the detection formula above to truthfully define snake oil. All you need to know is product name, description and asking price.

roberjerman"What is more "truthful" - "golden ears" or Pinnochio's nose? I'd trust the latter!"

Actually neither should be fully "trusted" without reservation instead why not conduct your own valid double-blinded listening tests and then post back here in this forum about how you conducted the tests and what they're results are otherwise your remarks here are starting to look like an effort to troll as others here have duly noted!

@roberjerman I for one am not included in the "others" clearthink makes mention of. Go on and continue your posts.

clearthink has unmitigated gall.

First he states the impossible.

Then he is presented with a genuine and no obligation challenge to demonstrate the impossible.

Then he tentatively accepts challenge.

Then he attempts to dictate the terms of the challenge.

Then he is asked to act privately, and with the inclusion of legal council.

Then he refuses.

Then he cry's fraud.

Then he repeats himself.
