I like that answer!

Still, I think the "unclarity" resembles the debate decades ago, when
there was a lot of talk about impedance matching, preamps and
transformers. Some combinations between dynamic mic=B4s, input
transformers and transistors worked, others did not, and noone
actually  knew why, even though "everybody" said they did.
