I used to think this too. I am now of the opinion that they simply lack
the technical terminology to put much of what they do know into words we
can understand. They may not know that an inverted cross grained
acoustic planel is likley to cause them difficulty in their attempts at
realizing optimal harmonic intercourse with the string plane through the
user interface provided by the instrument at hand, but they do know more
about what they like to hear and feel then we are ofte times able to
ascertain from them.

But thats just my opinion :)

Cheers !
