Did you read the rest of the post where I explained this statement?

You appear to be inferring that the problem lies with the viewer.


It does, to a certain extent. See my comment about kids and their music.

If your logic is correct then the viewer should determine the volume
setting by the loudest material being broadcast, ie. the advertisements.
That way they would have difficulty in hearing the real program material
and then be forced to complain to the broadcaster that they wanted the
program sound level cranked up.... Yeah, I'll go along with that....


At the end of the day the result is the same.
