That's what the statistical analysis of the results suggested, but admittedly it was only to the 95% criterion. However, that was enough
to satisfy my curiousity on the matter.

I think you and Bassnut neet to take a look at the language you use.
It is unnecessarily confrontational when you use emotionally loaded
words like "boast" and "claiming to hear" when I have been quite clear
in describing the results of the tests I have taken over the years.

And I'll ask you the same querstion I asked Bassnut: how many
_formal_ blind tests have you particpated in to be so sure of their
efficacy when it comes to detetcting small but real differences? To
object so strongly when someone like myself, who has taken part in
many such tests over the past 30 years, raises legitimate criticisms?
