If wave theorists were faithful to auditory content, they would need to explain why listeners never phenomenally experience the intervening medium as the locus of the sound, which wave theory predicts they should.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Phenomenally experience(describes how listeners actually perceive or feel sound): What something actually feels or seems like from the perspective of the person experiencing it—the subjective, felt quality of an experience.
The intervening medium(what wave theory says the sound waves pass through): The material (usually air) that sits between a sound source and a listener's ear through which sound waves travel.
Wave theorists(refers to people defending a specific theory about how sound works): Philosophers or scientists who believe that sound is fundamentally a series of waves traveling through the air (or another medium), rather than something that exists in the ear or mind.
Wave theory predicts(describes what consequences follow logically from the wave theory): What the wave theory of sound would logically lead us to expect should happen based on its basic assumptions.
