That's nice. Too bad the unnamed AP moron had to
insert 2 totally revealing paragraphs of
his personal knowledge, or lack thereof.


Namely:

Ignorant statement #1:
"Digital recordings capture samples of sound and place them very close
together as a complete package that sounds nearly identical to continuous
sound to many people."

Ignorant statement #2:

"Analog recordings on most LPs are continuous, which produces a truer
sound..."

The idiot's self-contradiction:

"...though paradoxically, some new LP releases are being recorded and mixed
digitally but delivered in analog."

Note that all of this weirdness slipped by Jenn, with her seeing nary a
problem.

But hey, it was well written.


Some people can write beautifully, some people understand science well.
There's a reason why the science classes for the arts curriculum has
traditionally been dumbed-down, if they even existed.

Yeah, we can only have accuracy or good writing, not
both, right?


That seems to be the nature of the human animal.
