What is amusing is how this can be distorted.  Speak about
processing.  But this is interesting, this reaction.

And so on for any other machine that can detect something automatically
in every day life:  the user is a moron.  An automatic transmission
would be one example.

So if there is any kind of audio analysis going on, then it means that
the "audio engineer" is actually really caught between apostrophes.
Any type of analysis, whether or not this analysis includes identifying
an instrument.

What's the point ? Just like a human.  How many mixes can you do of a
set of track. Unless that human thinks he's perfect, of course.  In
wither case it is amusing.
