Basic math, and another friendly suggestion for you.

First the basic math:

Check the test results (e.g. from the ABX comparator site) and sum up the two partial results (using music vs. using test signals) as already shown by Andy_C:

24 / 24 correct with test tones.

60 / 113 correct with music excerpts.

TOTAL: 84 / 137 with music & test tones.

OK?

Then the friendly suggestion: Why don't you ask John Atkinson to kindly clear this up? He can tell us right here and now whether or not it was misleading or erroneous to claim for Lipshitz a 99% result "on music." This should be easy for him and takes no more than 30 seconds.

He will further be able to state for the record whether or not it's misleading and erroneous to claim, in that same passage that you too quoted, that "Indeed, it [audibility of polarity reversal on music] is one of the few things that can be reliably detected with double-blind testing " (my emphasis). Or perhaps you can yourself give references to any such DBTs that show this reliably, in case JA can't?

I don't want to spend any more time arguing things that are published, widely known, and evident for all to see.
