Re: I too have hung out with wine, beer and coffee people. Never once...

John, I think I have an understanding about the sighted/blind/double-blind testing issue. I think it comes down to the psychology of the person. There are people, such as yourself, who have developed a very high level of critical thinking skills and an ability to recognize when their emotional biases are interfering with objective analysis, and to overcome those emotions and remain analytical.

So, it is quite likely that some people are able to objectively analyze situations without being double blindfolded. This, I think, is a good thing, because it allows the observer to consider the next step in development and research, and not just play an odds games.

On the other hand, most people don't fall into that category, so viva la double-blind test (for the rest of us).
