Read about this article long time ago. I even downgraded my equipment many =
years ago because I am unable to pass the blind test and yet now I think bl=
ind test may not be telling everything. Read somewhere in one of the scienc=

a saxophonist plays a score and while improvising the known score. I wonde=
r which part of our brain working under blind test.
I do not believe that we can distinguish strads or wines or Beluga caviar f=
rom Sterlet on immediate blind test but over a period of time they may well=
have a preference. All this while, our understanding is the brain function=
s uniformly but now science has proven they do not and therefore matters in=
volving taste or senses and emotion may need to be relooked.
