My point is that blind and sighted testing are unreliable in different ways

We don't know whether the added variable is helpful or harmful. All we know is that adding the visual changes the result.

Here's a true anecdote from my college days:

There was a life size sculpture of a human male figure in the area where I used to walk my Malamute. My dog would bark and growl at the sculpture, thinking that it was a threat. Though I never tried it, I'm sure that my dog would not have barked had he been blindfolded. Was he a better watch dog without the blindfold?
