RE: Protocols aside, all the 'good' objectivists want....

You are quite correct in general, but I was thinking of more informal tests done by reviewers or even consumers who wished to do them.

"1. It is possible to note differences in bind testing that are not consciously audible. The perception comes as a bias in the statistical distribution, so lots of samples will be needed."

jj has pointed this out here, that one may not consciously be aware of a difference but the results may show that one actually can detect the difference.

I'm not sure how this would apply to tests by reviewers or consumers who wished to do blind tests, but it is quite relevant to research.

"2. When one does both blind and non blind tests one learns about one's own perceptions and mind. This is useful knowledge, even if purely personal."

I do wish more reviewers would learn about their limitations.
