So Bill Fitzmaurice and Wayne Parham are perceived by some as experts. So what? How does that impact on what you do?   There are many less than competent amplifier designer/manufacturers around aswell. It will always be that way.

When Dr Atkins' diet became popular a few years back other nutritionists attacked his work. I could understand that. He was a real threat to their credibility. The widespread acceptance of his (suspect) approach probably damaged their career prospects (for a while) and to some extent their earning potential.

This doesn't constitute such a threat to you, your livelihood or for that matter the laws of physics which apply to horn loudspeaker design. Unlike the dieting/nutrition industry millions of dollars are not at stake. This is just another flashy, meaningless exercise which will be forgotten in 12 months time. Of course the audio press lap it up. They like a story and they need circulation. You should understand how it works by now and should care less.  
I think you take it form totally different, and form my point of view wrong, perspective. Instead of looking at my motivations and estimate your adoration to Bill Fitzmaurice vs. Dr Atkins I would suggest you to use data from this site for self-education. It is what this site is all about. I do not know who are right: the nutritionists or the philatelists but what I do know that in the today strange world this obscure site unfortunately is the only known to me place where pubic thinking about horns do actually make sense and actually do relates to better Sound and have a respect to beter Sound. I think the horns deserve better then juts this site.  Of course it is all about the self-imaging but if you do leave the egos aside then you will see the actual respect to the subject and the genuine respect  to  Sound that usually stay the end of all those conversations. Yes, for some people, an abstract love to “better sound” is not necessary relates to the “millions of dollars at stake”. It looks like you never understand Truth if it could not be invoiced for. Probably I shell start to send invoices, or perhaps you should start to post on the subject of the Magico design….
