The same is as true for audio as it is for wine. If someone cuts corners
with blind testing in order to arrive at a predetermined result - there
are many such examples in the mainstream press - the situation is, as I
wrote many years ago in Stereophile, "blind testing is the last refuge of
the agenda-riven scoundrel." :-)
