Slight correction of wording:

"15/20 correct on a blind test should be fairly easy to achieve if the
difference you believe in really exists." :-)

The test is not of the existence of the 'belief', but of if it has any
foundation in physical reality, and - if so - arises for the reasons
claimed.

The test have been available for some years. IIUC What has prevented it
taking place is that - so far at least - not a single 'believer' has been
willing to participate. All the other requirements are available. This
enduring lack seems odd, given how many people insist that their belief is
correct.

Slainte,

Jim
