Would it be "almost impossible" to differentiate between two human voices singing the same words to entirely different tunes?

Clearly 'Adam' is in denial (please see previous post Adam has not replied to).

Please can a rational person answer my question, Adam you are excused on this for obvious reasons.
I slow down for a speeding police car, don't you?

I have no idea what Nigel is going on about.

My 16 points dismissed his theory that an independent BT operative lied about hearing an alive dog barking inside WHF. It has been known for alive dogs to bark.

Now he is asking about telling the difference between types of dogs barks.

I'm not certain what you're implying Adam is in denial of. I've answered your question based on two, differently sized dogs, barking in the same vicinity. However, this, as Adam knows, was not the case at WHF, Crispy being in the house and the guard/gun dog being outside. We have to add in the variables which are A) the dogs weren't together. B) we have no idea if an open line was capable of picking up outside sounds as well as inside sounds. C) we have no idea how the sounds picked up became distorted by amplification.

A trained ear & dog expert could. But a BT operative couldn't.

I think we have established anyone could tell the difference between said dogs..

ps
are you okay?, I'm seriously worried about you

In all likelihood, she couldn't..................but wasn't required to, so whether or not she could tell the difference is irrelevant because there was only one dog in the house.

I never trust, and rarely answer, any question which requires a Yes/No answer and when I see that I'm required to give one of those answers to the question of whether or not I believed a dog to be on a phone, I come to the conclusion that it's a wind up.

Am I being asked if I believe:-

A) the operator could hear a dog barking over the open line

B) the operator could tell, from it's bark, what sort of dog it was

C) a dog could alert someone to it's presence by barking into a receiver

(I'm more of a cat person, but love all animals.)

An UNTRAINED ear could tell the difference!
