FM Rock radio stations do it all the time.

Now let's analyze your statement. Why would FM
radio stations go through the trouble of compressing
(not clipping!) the audio?... if it didn't make the
signal better?

Analyze it a little more...
Rock stations.

Now, what makes rock music better... intelligibility
or just pure decibels?

Let's face it, you can't understand a word they are
shouting about anyway, and certainly not over the
sound of garbage cans being physically abused.

The quality of Rock and Heavy Metal music is
measured by the number of brain cells remaining
after 1 hour of listening and headbanging while
playing the air guitar.

The short answer... they wouldn't bother.


The music industry relies heavily on this belief... tell the
public it's number 1, and they will all go out and make
it so.
Fashion takes it one step further - they can tell the
customer that everyone WILL be buying it, and they
will do.

But you know this, which is why you keep spamming the
group with "hey, everyone has one" type messages... you
see us a a bunch of lemmings.

Many businesses lose out to poor advertizing with the
same line... if it didn't work, they wouldn't bother.
The truth is that some salesman spun a convincing, if rather
misleading, yarn. One or two fell for it, and the others
simply follow them. The more fall into the trap, the
more follow them in.

Business 101... Never follow purely on the basis that the
leader must know the way.
Use such beliefs to sucker customers in, but never
fall for them yourself.
