Krygowski counters with one of his strawman aguments. I never said
anything about "all research, but indeed, the "studies" that Krygowski
has posted and that led him to his nonsense conclusions are heavily
biased. 

The idea that studying whether people who someone calls experts can
detirmine the value of a violin or wine doesn't benefit mankind. It
only benefits the marketers and producers of violns and wine.
