I didn't eliminate them for the result that was published in the magazine.
But I am conjecturing that perhaps I should have because I was keying
my blind identification off of an audible difference but incorrectly
ascribing that difference to what I believed to be the better-sounding
version of the file.
This confusion of "difference" with "preference" often rears its head with
blind testing. See my discussion at the linked article below.
