The "nature of humans"? bwahahahaha!
Exactly who should express *preferences* for which instruments they like best and least if not the human soloists who play them? You want your cat making decisions about what violin a soloist chooses?
As to whether you like DBT studies, well, that's your *preference* and you are but a mere human. Maybe I should ask the tree in my front yard whether it agrees with you.

can cut both ways....If the Strads were that bad,why would world famous soloists continue to use them?
I had a friend who plays tuba who switched from a Yamaha to a Miraphone.
He told me the Yamaha was a joy to play: intonation even, great tone, etc, etc.
The Miraphone was a bitch. It had its own character and took months if not a year to recognize and master. Intonation was uneven...but, when you learned to adjust, the sound was divine.....
There are many instruments like that. They have individual character and they may not be so pretty on first play...
FWIW and of course YMMV

"DBT" discussions could easily derail this thread, and that was not my intention here.Suffice it to say that I wouldn't trust the results of these studies just yet. I know that it is extremely difficult to organize, conduct, and interpret DBT tests like these ones.
We really need to hear from violinists who have played both top-notch Strads and top-notch modern violins *over time*.
