Why you can't trust measurements

[ASRMichael]

I was looking over some previous emails earlier from a respected DSP engineer. On one email he stated he trusted more his ear than he did maths, but when maths aligns together with results then it’s icing in the cake. This got me thinking, if this engineer is saying this….what does it mean for measurement software/hardware? As it’s all based on maths. 
 

For me measurements are a guide…Ears are what let’s you decide if you like it or not. That’s if you have a open mind that is, and not just going on measurements/maths.

Human ears are poor quality, compared to dogs and other species. Humans are a vision and tactile centric species.

But it’s human hears you listen with. Nothing will change that, not measurements, review, nothing
