This is a hobby and if they perceive a difference, they want to hear the justification for that rather than hearing that their mind is tricking them. People aren't on forums for the "truth", but to satisfy their ego. People wanting excuses to buy gear to get their dopamine hit when the delivery guy rings, and other people with no money enjoying trashing expensive products that they cannot afford. Years ago, running a (non-audio-related) forum, I found that even one or two extremely opinionated and noisy people could ruin a forum with thousands of participants, driving off people they didn't like by attacking their credibility. I see this nowadays both amongst people who want to defend their expensive purchases, as much as from "objectivists" who use arguments of inaudibility and lack of testing to imply a lack of credibility of people who post their impressions on products. The majority in the middle just end up wanting to have nothing to do with what amounts to veiled personal attacks. On a greater scale, discussion of serious topics on the internet is overwhelmed by noisy minorities too. The solution is... for people not to be a-holes. Seriously.
