Joe Roberts says if just one person heard the difference, then the difference must exist.
But there's a problem with that.
No human can actually hear what another hears. We really don't know what the other person or persons truly heard. We only know what they CLAIM to have heard.
Now unless somebody can find a way to tap the output of the ear before it gets to the brain - or - find a way to shut down human bias and influence, the fact that somebody claims to have heard a difference really doesn't cut it for factual purposes.
