I generally don't name drop and I never tell people to get better gear. The burden of proof is not on me. I simply do not give a shit what they believe.

I only take issue with people telling me what I do or do not experience -- because of the absurdity of that. The fact that this is about audio is coincidental.

If they tell you this in a personal dialogue, than I concur, it's silly and probably pointless. However, in a public online discussion they are probably just trying to mark for others some information which they see as false as something to disregard. And if they're reasonable, they will add some statistical data to prove their point.
