There is an utter lack of such quality studies.rw

The lack of quality studies is what this argument is about if I am not mistaken.
of the merits of a methodology in lieu of the practice that demonstrates such is suspect to say the very least.The fact that the other 'blind' testing methodologies are well established in other fields, e.g. drug testing, does not in any sense validate it's usage in home audio. Borrowing directly from JA's editorial without unduly abusing his intent I hope ... many of the vocal proponents appear "... to be making the naïve assumption that the mere fact that a test is blind inherently ... confers legitimacy on the test and its results. That assumption, I [JA] suggest, is 'bad science'—even voodoo."
That is the point.
Basically, nothing John Atkinson says invalidates the methodology of double-blind testing. Sure, he casts oblique aspersions on the technique as in your quote above. However, this is an opinion and nothing more.You may choose to believe it. I don't.
