"...he kept insisting I secretly knew he was right and was hiding the truth"

Please demonstrate where I did as much. I'm not going to bother reading the rest of this, because you're just completely lying now.

I have zero interest in interacting with you, to be clear. For anyone else they can read starting from here: https://x.com/AndyMasley/status/2046449238192570412

Here's where you claim infrasound is never audible https://x.com/AndyMasley/status/2046456215337611677

If this motte and bailey was something else I'm happy to clarify. How exactly am I misrepresenting you here?

No where in the thread do I insist that you "secretly knew I was right."

Why do you keep slandering your interlocutors?

You say "You are so focused on winning a fight and nitpicking, you're totally neglecting frequency in your critique and leaning on dB as a crutch"

And then say the way I'm ignoring frequency is that sub 20 Hz can never be audible. But this is actually a factual disagreement we have. You're doing the same thing again.

You understand that that statement is not what you said it was, right? Did I ever say anywhere that you secretly knew that sub-20Hz frequencies are inaudible? Or did I just say you were wrong (as stated by the source you seem to cite in support of its audibility)?

Are you or are you not saying here that I'm totally neglecting that sub 20 Hz infrasound can never be audible? You knew I said they're audible in the original post, so you must not have thought I hadn't thought about it before. Only other option is you think I'm lying.

I am saying (and later even clarified as much in the thread!) that it is very difficult and very rare to hear sub-20Hz as a distinct frequency, and you are neglecting this issue by just simply stating that it can be made audible (perceptible, really).

That's not calling you a liar! It's just calling you wrong!
