Re: Love your scenario

Well, finding deer is fairly straightforward, no statistics required in the problem as stated, either you find tracks, droppings, etc., or actually see the deer (of course, lots of people shoot farm animals and sometimes other hunters/people thinking they're deer!). I was simply illustrating that it is easier to prove the hypothesis than the null hypothesis. At least you grasp that part, but Analog Scott apparently doesn't.

Detection of small audio differences is less straightforward and statistical analysis of controlled blind test results has worked for many decades. In statistics, you can prove the hypothesis (to a degree of certainty) but not the null hypothesis. No matter how many times the null hypothesis has failed to be disproven, someone might disprove it in the future.
