[Simon Wyndham] "People need to start discussing truly examinable facts using real test equipment. Or else all these arguments are totally invalid. "


Simon,

Most technical issues with video are identified via anecdotal observation, and not with scientific apparatus. Seldomly does a director yell "cut, back to first positions," because of something he saw on a vectorscope. And, in the editing room, 99% of the time, an editor spots a problem with his eyeballs, and only then checks those observations against the waveform/vectorscope. The typical audience certainly doesn't require a test bench to know when something doesn't look right on TV.

God knows, there have been hundreds of questionable comparisons and unscientific facts bandied about on this forum. But, to say that only test equipment can determine the validity of all discussions is equally off base. That's not to say that invalid arguments can't be better challenged with scientific measurement, but there is no substitute for the trained eye.
