Actuallyy the quote Patd just brought up is the one I was referring to for Mrty."Note that no matter what score is achieved, A = B cannot be proven. That is the ABX Double Blind Comparison can never be used to prove two audio components sound the same. The notion that ABX can prove components sound the same is a common misconception about ABX."

That site's testing average the overall scores of all participants. The Null Hypothesis is not in agreement in sciences so if that is the debate then that's fine I understand where you're coming from. It however is not a totally accepted approach in pscychology or brain research - which is why it follows that these entities also don't rely on DBT's. But I understand better where you two are coming from. I was under the impression that Mrty was drawing a conclusion that if someone doesn't pass the test it meant that they can't hear a difference - whch is of course is a silly thing to conclude since we know so much about the testing procedure itself musddies the waters . His writing style perhaps threw me to think that he thinks that actually means something outside of the testing environment and is a correlational proof of some sort that the test with the specific people and equipment on the specific time and date and environment correlates ouside of those parameters...sorry. Of course we know it is not directly correlational outside of that environnment. And if you are aware of this that is fine by me too...I'm a little puzzled though that it's never mentioned. And when i bring it up I'm targeted as someone who accepts every sighted claim...I don't - but I also don't dispell them with a test that doesn't prove them wrong and isn't really a valid test to the normal listening environment - because of course no test environment of psychology covers all the variables and because it's a test on the brain then any TEST intoduces it's own anxiety bias. And again if you know all of this then that's fine but again I don't see it equally discussed and if it is ignored then explain why.
