Amateurs argue by analogy, and yours isn't even a good one.

"Feh," I say, and "feh" again.

How about "love"? Does "love" have a specific, invariant and
definable
meaning in the scientific sense, measurable by experiments which
produce
the same results during repeated trials within the limits of
'experimental error'?

Dan, I basically agree that "dark" and "German sound" cannot be
quantified in the normal sense of 'science'. But this does not
mean
that names such as "dark tone" and "love" are meaningless or
incomprehensible or without value.
