The hot-water dough is choosing tenderness and easier rolling, while the cold-water dough keeps more elasticity for a wrapper that has to tolerate boiling and handling. I would not treat either as a general improvement.
The useful comparison is the cooking method. A wrapper for boiled dumplings has a different job from one for a potsticker, and the filling moisture changes the result as well. The recipe should say what it is optimizing.

August 30, 2026 at 10:18 am in reply to: Choral recordings with a smaller, less cinematic sound? #2522that makes sense to me. if the voices are clean and the reverb is restrained, pärt can feel almost domestic, which is not a bad word here
more chapel than cinema

August 10, 2026 at 6:03 pm in reply to: Expertise, sources, and the noble art of saying “I don’t know” #3777That sounds about right to me. I like practical expertise, but practical experts can still be wrong outside their lane. Book and music arguments can remain gloriously evidence-resistant.
August 10, 2026 at 10:48 am in reply to: Expertise, sources, and the noble art of saying “I don’t know” #3775If we are arguing about an album, nobody needs peer review. A professional title matters only inside the area it actually covers.
August 10, 2026 at 7:33 am in reply to: Expertise, sources, and the noble art of saying “I don’t know” #3773That is the part I agree with. Corrections should be ordinary.
August 10, 2026 at 4:12 am in reply to: Expertise, sources, and the noble art of saying “I don’t know” #3770Right, and I’d add one thing. A link can help, but a link is not automatically evidence. A good source should reduce confusion, not merely increase the number of tabs open.
August 8, 2026 at 7:17 am in reply to: Expertise, sources, and the noble art of saying “I don’t know” #3747That distinction between ordinary recommendations and high-stakes advice is the important one for me. I do not need a citation for soup; I do want more care before someone gives medical, electrical or food-safety certainty.
Exactly and then the same melody comes back wearing a different local accent
That is the part I would tell people to listen for first, before they start chasing famous ensemble versions.
That is a good example, and the church acoustics are doing some sorting, yes. Still, the singers have to leave enough space for that to happen, which is easy to miss if you only hear the bloom.
If I had one, I would want it in a room that does not flatter it too much. Otherwise the blur wins and everyone starts pretending that is depth instead of reverb.
Right and then suddenly you need three discographies and a map. Very normal hobby behavior, obviously.
