ok i read the description of the macondo philosophy / design as it was laid out at:

http://www.goodsoundclub.com/MacondoAcousticSystem.aspx

i think i understand what you were trying to do and how you were trying to do it and i think that in some ways your approach makes sense.

yet in other ways your approach does not make sense but these are ways that you probably will not understand ( or maybe understand but will reject ) just like i probably will not understand some of the ways in which it does make sense.

i am not sure if we even have anything to argue about here. my concern is designing a system that is maximally logical - one that most pure from the standpoint of engineering. your concern is a system that simply WORKS regardless of how it does it.

what you're essentially doing is this:

which can be effective but while producing results does not necessarily produce understanding. understanding for me is as important, and probably more important than results.
