I've seen less sighted than blind tastings myself.

Yeah, the club I belonged to was the Bell Labs wine enthusiasts at the time, yes we did have everything from research psychologists to solid-state physicists on board, and yes, the tastings were designed more like professional tastings.

That doesn't mitigate the point that in fact the PUBLICATIONS who do this sort of thing report doing blind tastings.

Yes, everyone does informal tastings, too, but not for serious business. Just like they shouldn't do informal listening (non-blind) for serious audio science.
