Reed:
What a was taking issue with was the implict assumption that things that
look
alike have similar characteriatics or "essences" which, as I said
before, is the
crux of the concept of "sympathetic magic".

The only implicit assumption is that people have similar organs in
similar places. Two sets of ears will percieve sound in a relatively
similar manner (unless impaired). I never said anything about "essence".
Besides the ears, there are other fluid-filled, diaphram-like, boney
tissues that, though not specialized to this task, can also perceive
sound. (which is a simple, conducted wave)
