Hopefully this post will be around long enough to post a reply?
> An ABX test can prove that an effect exists.
Not sure what you mean by effect. If we replace effect by something objective and measureable in the physical world then we would be in agreement. Indeed this is what the ASA required Russ Andrews to provide in order to back his claim but he was unable to do so and so got his wrists slapped.
> It CANNOT prove that it DOESN'T exist.
Again a bit more precision is required if you want to hang onto words like prove and exist. An experiment can be performed to measure whether a sound can or cannot be perceived under given circumstances. This is usually sufficient to a refute a claim that something can be perceived.

I fail to see the relevance of technical explanations. If you post an advert making a claim about the physical world (i.e. an objective claim) and cannot back it up when challenged then you get your wrists slapped.
> Your theoretical views are irrelevant to the empirical issues.
What theoretical views and what empirical issues?
