Not at all, I think… and very useful. Oliver Sacks, for one example, measures and reports on [extreme] sensory perceptive (dis)abilities -- and books like "Musicophilia" make for a very interesting read. it would be *very* informative to have a [very] long-term study of "average perceptive functioning". Based on my intuition and experience (i.e., anecdotal at best, and fatally biased at worst), I predict such a study would prove a general dulling of the human perceptive senses -- hence the ever-accelerating need to overstimulate each successive generation.
