Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

Taste is a completely subjective thing, that happens mostly in your brain.

    Yes, and acquired tastes are you telling your brain "No, actually, this tastes great!" until it gives up and accepts your false reality.

    There is no objective taste reality, so there is no false reality. Taste is a complex experience of actual taste, aroma, texture, memories (your grandma used to cook that way), setting, hunger (ever been hungry on a long hiking trip?) - what ever combination gives you pleasurable experience, tastes good for you.

    Whenever people start talking about their sensed experience in objective terms I get a strong urge to hit myself over the head with a 2x4. Explain that with your rationality, Mr science man.
