MYTH: Failed DBTs provide proof of imagined perception of difference beyond doubt.FACT: Failed DBTs are merely unsuccessful attempts to prove perception of difference beyond doubt. This does **not** imply the claimed perception of difference is imagined beyond doubt. Nor does it imply the differences in the stimuli are to small to be perceived as different.
Or in other words, failed DBTs are **inconclusive** in regard to imagined perception of difference.
This is why I call DBT and the sincere technical discussion of it "roadkill".... The correct application of DBT is to make one sure of the differences he thinks he hears. Not to question aural acuity in the event someone fails to detect differences.
Claims that failed DBTs prove imagined perception of difference beyond doubt reflect a real lack of understanding of the very science purported to be championed.
