A good engineer won't tell you x sounds better than y, but they'll strive to make what you hear sound just like what was originally played.
A unity transfer function isn't 'mightier--then-thou', it's a unity transfer function. It's episteme.
As for the rest of your diatribe, it's just guff. Enjoy your PhD, and maybe try working on some of those 'grammer and spelling skills that are lacking in the technical' before you secure tenure at which ever prestigious institution it is that'll have you.
Whilst not condoning it, I think it should be clarified (as the summary seems a little unclear) that this is for the lower tier exam, which is the one that you can only score the maximum of a'C'-grade in, and as such probably wouldn't be taken by the sort of person persuing a particularly scientific or numerate A-level or career. I think the logic (flawed or otherwise) is to try and only slightly alienate the non-scientists, rather than completely elienate them. This measure doesn't apply to the bulk of more able students.
