I too have hung out with wine, beer and coffee people. Never once...

...during the (delightful) examination of these beverages was the
source masked -- with this exception: Occasionally we would do that
trick just for the hell of it. I was once treated to a group of
wines at Larry Archibald's and he had wrapped them in foil, just to
see how I would do. I didn't mind the test and by the way I did
surprisingly well, pleasing both of us.

Also I recall the time, maybe a decade
ago, when I was discovering glasses (meaning, glass shape and
size). Already I knew what the result would be, when I poured the
same wine into two different glasses and handed them to a friend
who is pretty good at this stuff. He didn't see me doing it, so we
had "blind" conditions. Of course he thought they were two
completely different wines.

After that the glass factor had to be added to our investigations,
but openly, sighted.

I'll stipulate that MW and MS exams are conducted blind. Geez Luiz!

Also I know coffee and tea people who would laugh outright at the
idea that blindness is needed for them to render a fair opinion. A
cup is what it is.

And thus audio as well.
