Nothing wrong with a little heated give and take.
I love to watch a good cockfight, but i won't join in. I like to remain neutral.
I was sitting in my rx7 today and the effin thing wouldn't get me to that special place I wanted. Then I realized the effin thing was in neutral. I shifted through the gears and was instantly transported through space. Frickin miracle.

neu·tral [noo-truhl

a.gray; without hue; of zero chroma; achromatic.

b.matching well with many or most other colors or shades, as white or beige.

.....like alot of things, general concensus over time seems to be how things work. As long as headfi forumites are not used as part of that general concensus . I trust folks here and ol joe grado over current headphone producers and those rigid and mechanical germans. them beyers and senns is cold

My parents must have surgically implanted rubber Neumann ears on my head when I was a baby.   

That must be it! 

Since it's on topic with the thread and might help other people I'll post it here:

Think of it kind of like a room's effect on speakers, you're the eardrum, the outer ear is the furniture and the room is enclosed by the pads and baffle, the difference is in the frequency bands that get affected since high frequency has very little space to attenuate and gets reflected back and forth inside the tiny room along with lower frequencies; while speakers are mostly affected in the bass/lower mids region. The more open/less reflective you make it the less it matters, both for hp's and speakers. 

Then there's the thing of compensation curves which are a wholly different subject and have more to do with position of the sound source.

Just to avoid confusion, you can also hear high frequency reflections with speakers in a large room, when you clap inside a church, etc. BUT the reflected wave is (almost) never higher in amplitude than the original, as is the case with headphones, so it doesn't really modify the FR in the end.
