If you were translating yourself, you were doing a pretty darn good job though.
Let me clarify the opinion versus fact thing, it might help in general with the overall understanding of why there are people who have respect issues.
When somebody who has a belief about a technology that goes against the basic science and math of what is going on, yet argue that their conclusions are right without understanding that they are just arguing about a feeling or perception, their blind faith can lead to disrespect.
This happens all the time in the automotive world, for example. The simple argument about how electric vehicles can’t accelerate as fast, or reach as high speeds as internal combustion engines started out as true but quickly changed as the technology evolved. There are still folks who will argue otherwise and become disrespectful even though the numbers clearly show otherwise. It’s due to perception and bias, something we all have but sone manage better than others.
As another data point in our industry, the arguments over amp modeling in DSP not able to accurately model a tube amp. This was true if you go back a generation or two in DSP modeling algorithms and hardware, but the gap has closed to the point that I have seen double-blind tests where the player couldn’t correctly identify the technology they were playing. That doesn’t mean they might not prefer the tube amp, but not for the reason they put forward since the couldn’t tell when they couldn’t see what they were playing.
Technology evolves, changes, advanced and also becomes more reliable. This doesn’t mean that the newer technology is automatically worse. It evolves in ways that appeal to most players most of the time. The market insures that this is the case because companies that don’t evolve shrink and eventually disappear. How many steam powered car manufacturers are left? Yes, there are a few folks that still reminisce about the good ‘ol days of steam power and how it was so much better…
