I believe you have that wrong. The opposite is true. Pearce and his
simple-minded followers promote the "tests" in order to "prove" that
audible differences do not "really" exist.



No George, you have this wrong. The purpose of the test is to allow
somebody to prove that they can hear a difference between items -
something they can at the moment merely assert. If you can show me an
aspect of my protocol that would indicate otherwise, I will gladly
change it.

Don't change it. Show that it does serve to show "differences between
items". Show that it WORKS. Just a few good references!
If you do you'll make history of science. It will be the first time
that a tool for sure- fire tool for distinguishing one painting
reproduction from another, one violin from another, one clarinet from
another and so on and on was invented and experimentally proved to
work.
