No one ever said all humans have hearing that goes to 20kHZ. and then NOTHING above is audible no matter how loud.The unusual "music" chosen was something that few, if any, audiophiles coming here have heard of, or would listen to.
It was chosen for unusually loud high frequency content and may have no correlation with conventional Western music, making the experiment moot for those who don't listen to this particular "music".
You've also fallen into the trap of assuming that when people say they like A better than B, that means they can really hear a difference.
That "logic" skips one important step in the "assumption ladder"
In high end audio, people will say they like A or B between 50% and 75% of the time when A and B are really the same component playing at the same SPL, merely switched off and on to suggest to the listener there are two different components being compared. So what do those "A or B" preferences prove?
