YES! Unseen & Unaware When Switching Manuelly?

AJinFLA,

This is yet again another classic example of your unitelligent responses that contribute absolutely nothing to the topic at hand, but definitely prove you live by your motto of: Always negative, nothing good to say, that's the AJinFLA way! It also seems to prove what I previously told you, i.e. Listening to your QSC amp seems to be killing your brain cells while apparently leaving Tomservo uneffected!

From Tom's response to my post it easy to see he understood what I meant. So I'd say Tom's brain synapses are obviously firing! Yours? I don't believe are working so well. So allow me to explain in greater detail so you can finally grasp the concept.

What I'm proposing is replacing the ABX Box and additional set of interconnects it thus requires, with a person. My reasoning is this action would go a LLLLOOONNNGGG way towards removing many, but not all, of the objections the opponents of DBTs have. At the same time I also know we need to keep the proponents of DBTs happy also. So we must be sure this person who's replacing the ABX box cannot provide any clues no matter how intentionally.

To prevent this I proposed the person chosen to manuelly switch the wires, be "unseen" be the person taking the DBT. This could easily be accomplished by isolating this person switching the wires in another room, or even behind a wall with noise-cancelling headphones so he couldn't hear anything being said. To further prevent mishaps from effecting the test, I also proposed not even explaining to this person why he's switching the wires. That way this person remains unseen and unaware.

So AJinFLA in this scenerio the person replacing the ABX box & additional interconnects would be UNSEEN by the person taking the DBT. The person doing the manuel switching would also be UNAWARE as to what the actual purpose was for switching the wires as well. This would ensure he'd be incapable of providing any clues no matter how intentionally to the person taking the actual DBT.

This scenerio would provide a vaild DBT that's a lot closer in application to a medical DBT. It would also remove many objections opponents of DBTs have. I personally see this as a possible way to bring the two opposing groups closer to having a DBT that's acceptable to both. That's something we'll never achieve as long as an ABX box and additional ICs are used.

So for all those who believe I purposely make posts that create dividing lines and seek to spark arguements, here's my attempt to bridge the two opposing groups. Let's see how this type of post is received...
