Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.
Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.

Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment?

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.
