Actually I love to credit postmodernism as much as the next guy but I think
it was Heisenberg who proved this. :)

	It doesn't (unless I could crawl into the composers rain I guess),
but that wont stop me from trying to get as close to the perceived source as
possible (which in this case, for me again, would be the actual soundtrack
from the DVD, which, with a little work I could just do myself, but of
course that's not the point of this discussion). And if it becomes clear
that something or someone is filtering my 'perception' of an object I'm
going to try to remove that filter. Even more true when the filter is
obvious (like distortion on a sound file, or a reproduction of a painting).
