Where are the equally scholarly pieces of research that show that some
other form of testing for audio differences have merit?

Why are you quoting books that you haven't read ?

I'm not.

I'm saying these are refernce books on the subject of ABX and DBT.

There are no comprable published works on the subject of why some other form
of testing is better than or equal to the efficacy obtained from blnd audio
testing.
