Re: Logic failure

If double blind testing is dependent on careful selection of a group of individuals capable of successfully "passing" the tests, then, in reality, this proves that DBTs are not reliable for the general population. Maybe there should be a new job description for professional DBT participant.

The reliance on superior listeners for DBTs, if true, also tends to support the thesis that many people cannot hear the differences in sound quality during DBTs (when real differences are present) since - according to the ones that are able "pass" - there actually are differences.

Furthermore, the strong possibility exists that those who are successful in DBTs, due to their superior hearing ability, would also be successful in sighted tests - perhaps even moreso.
