Errr . . . when someone participates in a blind test, whose ears to they trust?

You're not making any sense.

"Our ears are the most sophisticated and most sensitive "test" devices on the planet."

-You have proof of that?

"Irrespective of that, the bottom line is how things sound."

Yep! That's the justification for blind tests, that appearance and reputation, and simply the sensory bias for perceiving differences, won't be able to affect the statistics.

"If your friends can not trust their own hearing or care to listen,"

As I've pointed out, those who participate in blind testing are trusting their own ears and only their own ears to be able to differentiate the sound.

"there is nothing you will ever do to convince them of your perceptions."

This "would do" illogic--you in fact do not know what we "would do." It is also quite false, as controlled DBT results could be quite convincing.

In your last sentence, you seem to distinguish "hearing" from "perception." What do you mean by those terms?
