Critics, reviewers, journalists, we all express opinions. We approve and disapprove. That's what folks expect us to do -- want us to do. If one fudges this role he abdicates his responsibilities. I don't take Scull to task for an opinion that runs counter to my own. I condemn him rather for arriving at conclusions so contrary to an informed consensus as to constitute an act of vandalism.

Were Scull a harmless creature, these words from his RGPC review would be merely hilarious: "I'm no engineer. But I've met some fascinating people and learned just enough to be dangerous. (To me learning is like music: It keeps you alive.)" It's highly unlikely that Scull anticipated the irony of this self-inflation aside. Presumably our music-loving knowledge-sponge is unfamiliar with the adage, "A little learning's a dangerous thing." Someone needs to remind him that this isn't flattery.

Jonathan Scull was an insult to the intelligence of anyone who subscribed to Stereophile.

I never understood what qualified him to be on the staff of that magazine (maybe he owned a piece of it?).
