While there are probably only hundreds that can tell the difference in sound of a Stativarius I damn well know there is a difference and can identify a Stradivarious from an Amazon professional grade violin whereas Frank denies there is a difference. He actually believes that he has science on his side despite the fact that violin players with good ears pay millions for specific years of Strativarius violins.

Incidentally, chemists also have an interest in Stradivari violins:

This is awfully reminescent of Liebermann tell you I overpaid for my Mercury Milan when he didn't even know what model I had.

Nope.  You mentioned the Milan quite clearly:

"Two months ago, I bought a used car - a Mercury Milan - for $12,000
with 57,000 miles on the clock."

Did you really pay $12,000 for this car with 57,000 miles that is at
least 14 years old?  According KBB (Kelly Blue Book), it's probably
worth about half of what you allegedly paid.  If it was an earlier
year, probably less.

"2011 Mercury Milan pricing starts at $7,118 for the Milan Sedan 4D,
which had a starting MSRP of $22,750 when new. The range-topping 2011
Milan Hybrid Sedan 4D starts at $4,566 today, originally priced from
$30,950."
