RE: Scientific method?

"Your personal DBT may give you different results at different times during the day, depending on your mood, whether you have water in your ears, tinnitis, different ancillary equipment used, etc."

If one can establish one hears a difference under the conditions of the audition, than that is established with some degree of probability. Pointing out that sighted auditions are affected by even more things is hardly a straw man.

Merely getting positive results on DBTs does not necessarily indicate just what the differences heard are.

How would you establish that all conditions are controlled in any test? How do you know something was not missed? You can't be absolutely certain of that. You can only remove known variables, and finding things that affect the results is part of science.

If you use different ancillary equipment, that would be a different test because another variable has been introduced.
