Those are the ones you have to watch... the toys flying out of prams can have sharp edges.
There is plenty of evidence that individuals see, hear, and feel things differently. There’s also evidence that people interpret what they see, hear, feel differently based on there experience. Yes, there’s also psychological factors too. So just because something works for you doesn’t mean the other guy is an idiot, and vice versa.

You didn't have to be offensive AT ALL. That's the point. You seem offended by two things you have mentioned...
1. I'm trying to undermine your thread.
2. I'm trying to belittle you.
I was doing neither, whatever you may have inferred. You also said earlier that I said you were delusional, I didn't.
All I've tried to do since is basically treat your reply as a bit of an over-reaction with good humour and not just make personal comments in reply.
You didn't like my post... not the first time someone hasn't liked something I've said, not the last, but definitely one of the more extreme reactions I've got... YMMV but there it is.
The reason I was offended is that it's a reasonable question about something I've noticed, and your first reply did seem to crap on the idea altogether. I like to learn things and by posting I was hoping someone might furnish me with some info. I also admit that it is a pet hate of mine when people on forums rubbish an idea without really seeming to understand it, and that's what I saw in your first post because those examples just aren't actually relevant (IMO!) to guitar construction at all. It absolutely did annoy me.
But I suspect we've agreed in the past, and I suspect we'll agree again in the future. I apologise that it was such an on the nose attack on what you said, I should have been less confrontational in disagreeing with you.

At least I still look like a fanny.
Does every string ring clear and clean with a bright attack and long, natural sustain - or do some strings sound like rubber bands or banjos?
Clean cut nuts and a sharply defined witness point on the saddle make a big, big difference.
Also are all the screws and tuners tight?... neck well seated in the pocket?
Some bits of wood are better than others - particularly necks.
Twenty years of ageing and playing helps too.
Small variations, even in wood from the same tree, could/can/might be different.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
I have an SG faded which is about as resonant as a plate of noodles. But through the amp this translates to a strong transient and lots of expressive character
Or that could just be in my head
I traded SG Classics with (I think) @benecol, a few years ago. The one he gave me was objectively better than the one I gave him. It was definitely in the wood because both were set up well. We swapped back because it really wasn't a fair trade, and I'm not a prick
