That's simply not true. One close to High End audio is sports cars.
Everyone
has their own opinion which they prefer and a lot of it is based on 'the
feel
of driving it'. I used to own a '95 Acura NSX T-top. Road and Track
compared
it to the '95 Porsche Targa and '95 Ferrari F-355 convertible. 0-60mph
and
skid pad specs were almost identical for the three cars. Objectivists
might
say the three cars had no significant differences. Any subjectivist that
drove
all three would be able to tell you the differences and which they
preferred.
No objectivist would say the cars had "no significant differences" based on
two narrow measurements. But a subjectivist might say one car "felt"
faster when the difference was really the firmness of the seat padding.
