At Toole har funnet ut at utseendet kan bety mer enn lydkvaliteten forteller meg at han ikke har utforsket dette skikkelig.
Før du "klager" over utilstrekkelig forskning på emnet så er det en masse stoff der uteman kan sette seg inn i. Det fine med dette feltet er at det typisk blir mye empiri og ikke så mye tung matte.
Det er nok i et av paperene under, jeg har dem desverre ikke foran meg:
