"One point that is continually glossed over by proponents of blind
testing is that when the audible differences are small in absolute
terms, which is very often the case, designing a blind test that has
sufficient sensitivity to detect such differences is not trivial."Your point here is self-defeating, "audible differences that are small in absolute terms" will not be any easier to detect in a sighted test, the results will just a lot less reliable as a result of uncontrolled listener bias.
