Starostin strikes me as repellent and full of shit as it comes. He's the perfect example of the dellusional, faux-academic
critic I want to avoid like cancer in all walks of life. He really thinks he has it all down to a science.

I remember browsing the site and being amazed at the self-importance and nerdy delusion of objectivism he
shows again and again. He even has the bands organized, doll-house style in some bullshit hyerarchy
he has created for himself and friends by adding up abstract concepts like "adecuacy" and "resonance" as if those
were measurable terms like speed or weight. Then he plays with the dolls by making one fight another  "yeah you're
good but you'll never belong to the superior class I have measured with my high precision metrics"

It's all a scam. And he seems to believe it lock, stock and barrell. To me it's transparent bullshit, and makes me think
less of him.
