"This very aspect is what makes it ludicrous to try and simply look at the "thresholds of audibility" and declare something either hearable or not."

You mean because the audibility threshold depends on the material being played?

We're used to that - absolute polarity, for example, is relatively easy to hear with test tones, but there is only a single blind test result I know of showing its audibility for music (and that was a very particular passage involving mostly percussion). Same thing with many other such effects. A well designed test takes that into account by playing a variety of musical material as well as test tones.

It's annoying, but that's life. There are no easy answers.
