I can't be, that's why I kept using phrases like 'make a good guess'. Maybe
those own goals in soccer are actually cunning examples of reverse
psychology!

Judgemental, not judicial. In the sense of making a decision about whether
you think something is good or bad. What I mean is that you seem to be
deliberately avoiding any value judgements on what you listen to (which
makes me wonder how you decide what records to get).

OK, now we understand each other. To me it's more logical to assume (only
assume, not know) that some musicians are listening very carefully to the
final mix, and being deliberate about what sounds should be there, and that
some some don't bother. It's the latter which bugs me.
I make that assumption because it seems to apply to any human activity.
I mean, you hear about people coming home from hospital with forceps
still inside, I don't think that was a considered medical decision, eh?

were thinking about invading your pancreas...honest...um..."
