Relevant scientific foundations such as the existence of sound waves and vibration punctuate the entire thread.

If you’re definition of science is simply graphs and stats you will be disappointed but I did say they use science to explain, not that they ‘do science’.

Also some bloke coming into the discussion and politely asking if he can link to his site as it provides further scientific explanations (as well as promoting his interest) is hardly a reason to bring impartiality into it (if that’s what you’re referring to?).

Does every thread with a contribution from such a person also lack impartiality?

Not that I said it was impartial anyway I just meant from the tone of the discussion they didn’t seem as bothered (as some) about having their advice proven or otherwise, just so others ‘could’ take their advice or not, they’re just putting it out there. It was refreshing that they didn’t care.

Some guy even apologised to a contributor for doubting him 30 years ago which said contributor graciously accepted with some class.

I wouldn’t immediately distrust something for the reasons you state but I understand why you might. Like I say I only have a very basic understanding but their explanations made (scientific) sense. At least to me.
