I think it's all good and well folks shooting down the use of "technobabble"; undoubtedly some stuff qualifies as that, but you have to make allowances for when audio topics centre around the [extremely valid] ear/brain relationship: how we as humans listen to music and process that information, and subsequently the difficulty in discussing this where, due to the complexity of the subject, it's easy to explain yourself incorrectly and stray into "technobabble".
When it comes to hi-fi, the electronics and technical side may indeed be pretty well understood, but the latter (above) certainly isn't - and that I believe is the area where many of the answers lie in what is claimed as being genuinely heard, and what is currently technically provable.
And folks should be allowed to discuss that, as best as they can within the limits of their understanding, in order to provoke debate and perhaps learn something new, without their views being completely rubbished as "hogwash", by those who think they know it ALL.
They might intimately know about how boxes of electronics function, but the most important thing of all, and huge grey area, in terms of ascertaining WHY we hear what we hear, when processing music signals, and which is defined by the human ear/brain relationship, they know next to nothing - and so in that respect are as much amateurs here as the rest of us!
We learn by exploring ALL credible possibilities, and perhaps making some mistakes along the way, not by arrogantly dismissing that which doesn't neatly fit into our belief system, and that approach is the one we will always practice (and champion) here on AoS.
