You linked to a participant's account of a blind audition done in 2010 in Indianapolis.
The OP linked to a blind audition done in Paris in 2012.
As with speakers, I imagine that in a blind test, many people would be able to tell the difference between the violins, but that was not really tested.
Both tests seem to have been preference tests. Both tests produced data. People seem to draw a lot of conclusions from it.
I suppose many expected the Stradivarius violins to wipe the floor with the others, and that expectation was not supported.
However, there are too many variables to determine why that is. As was pointed out, maybe with a little tweaking which is done regularly by violinist (one of my best friends is a professional violinist), and the strings were different and perhaps no optimized. So with slight adjustments, the results might have been different. With different players, the results might have been different. On a different day, the results might have been different.
