“Do it 10 times and see how many times you get it right. Do it 20 times and then do a simple t-test on the results”

@randy-11, did you take your meds today 😉 

Who’s in right state of mind conduct these tests 10-20 times?

That’s part of the whole blind test scam. Nobody can pass a blind test 10 times in a row. Give me a break! That’s the beauty of it. That’s why The Amazing Randi never had to pay out a million dollars for any test, ever, not even the blind tests of controversial audiophile thingamabobs like the Intelligent Chip. No one can pass a blind tests 10 times without making a mistake - especially when the test is controlled by The Amazing Randi and his staff of pseudo skeptics. Hel-loo! 😛

Controlled blind tests are analogous to the drowning chair used to determine if a woman was a witch in Salem, Massachusetts. If she drowned she wasn’t a witch. A real witch would have prevented her own death. Duh!

Of course blind tests work. Of course independently verified instrument measurements of performance work. Only scam artists and conmen would claim that independent blind testing doesn’t work and place anecdotal listener experience on a pedestal as the only measure of true performance. And that is simply because everything they sell is snake oil and cannot be measured or heard except by deluded wishful thinkers (who are told what to expect to hear and know what they are listening to in advance)

Someone hasn’t been paying attention. The reason blind tests don’t mean anything WHEN THE RESULTS ARE NEGATIVE is because negative results can result from mistakes by the test conductor, mistakes in the system used for the test, and other reasons. POSITIVE RESULTS, on the other hand, tend to support the hypothesis under test, even if there were mistakes or errors in the test. You can ignore a single blind test if the results are negative. Follow? The other part of the puzzle is that when the differences are subtle or small it can be quite difficult if not impossible to correctly identify the better device. That’s the scam that Randy was running. And that you apparently go along with.
