The Dirty Word- "Qualification"

For any test to mean anything, the test rig must be qualified as able to to test what it's intended to be tested. It must be shown as able to consistently and reliably resolve the relevant data, so false positives and failures due to insufficient resolving ability are kept to a minimum.

Without qualification, the faith in claims of sonic differences is often trumped by the faith in test rig worthiness. For a failed test will make people say the "other side's faith" is flawed, but in reality, the test doesn't prove a thing, and such ordeal ends up being a total waste of time and resources.

And while both sides claim "victory," nobody wins.
