Is this not an apt analogy?
We really like eating meat, we really can't understand what all the fuss is about with killing animals for food. So that everyone knows how we feel, henceforth we will call ourselves "Vegetarians"

Darling, where did you put my Benzodiazepine ? :D
Well Marco you did ask for some lateral thinking, and for us to think outside the box! ;)
Before Linn released the LP12 in 1973, which was basically an Ariston RD11, many hi-fi companies had promoted electrical specifications as indicative of their products performance.
Conventional wisdom at the time in the hi-fi community was that the loudspeaker was the most important part of a hi-fi system. Linn championed the "source-first" approach, arguing that, whilst a system was only as good as its weakest link, the most important part of any system was the source.
Linn had focused on its products ability to reproduce the elements of music as judged subjectively - sometimes referred to as "PRAT" for pace, rhythm and timing - or, in Linn's terminology, "pitch accuracy".
Since many of the principles Linn subscribed to were thought to be heretical, or flying in the face of conventional wisdom, Linn/Naim aficionados were nicknamed "Flat Earthers", sometimes affectionately, sometimes derogatorily.
Juat a little bit of history explaining where I beleive the term "Flat Earthers" originated from! Might be of some help to those that are not sure of the term from an Hi-Fi perspective.
