Who cares? ABX is a measure of *difference*, not *preference*.

Do you have the perfect microphone that is able to emulate exactly what
I as human being hear?

Do you have a perfect account of the processes going on in my brain
during the musical interpretation of external sounds being heard by my
ears? Do you have a perfect computer model of that?

Why would I need one to know that neither you nor Richards can hear
differences among notionally competent cables (or amplifiers)?
