In Reply to: I would like to follow up on the notion that sighted tests are sensitive to many factors. posted by Norm on June 23, 2006 at 06:30:43:
And when you question something that has established a good, long track record, you need evidence.GET some evidence and people will listen to you.
Until then, the counter-evidence for the invalidity of sighted testing (for scientific purposes of differences arising from only auditory stimulii, please) is enormous. Test after test, result after result, show that non-blind testing causes all sorts of issues that can not arise from the auditory stimulii. (for instance in cases where the auditory stimulus is exactly the same, and only the non-blind cues change)
What you need, Norm, is that key part of science, the EVIDENCE.
It seems, however, that rather than deal with the EVIDENCE, the long, exhaustive trail of present evidence, you would prefer to pretend that it does not exist and rail about hypothetical problems FOR WHICH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!
S**T or get off the pot.
