You throw out the term, "worthless," without specifying the objective, which makes the usage essentially meaningless except emotively. An evaluation of the test implies it has an objective. When are able to figure that out, maybe then you can talk sensibly about what is "scientifically valid." Otherwise, no.
If your objective is to reinforce your prejudices about cables, then no doubt you would find most DBTs done as worthless for that purpose. So what? We already know you don't like them.
