“Can I assume, though, that you are attempting to make an analogy between your hypothetical and the possible inability of reviewers to distinguish in a blind test differences they discern in a sighted test?”
I am. I’m curious as to how many failures you would have to witness Smith undergo before you concluded that it was probably not the blind test, but Smith himself, that was the problem?
“Was one version much more expensive than the other? (facile answer)”
Yes ($45 and $15 respectively), and while Smith insists the expensive pressing is sonically superior, he can only identify it blind about 50% of the time (on his system). Would such a result cause you to question Smith’s powers of discernment, or would you chalk it up to the “hazards” of blind testing?
