its unlikely that they, like say John Curl or
John Atkinson will ever in their lives do a proper
listening test to confirm their beliefs.

A Freudian (or should I say "Nousaineian") slip of Mr.
Krueger's pen :-) One does't do test to "confirm" one's
beliefs, one does them to find out whether a phenomenon
is audible.

Usual...hair-splitting noted.

I snipped your usual name-calling, Mr. Krueger. And no, this is
not hair-splitting. Scientific method demands an agnostic attitude
on the part of the experimenter when he both designs and performs
the test. Otherwise the _tester's_ bias affects the results.

This is nonsense. Humans always have tester's bias. The important thing
is
for the scientist to design a methodology that neutralizes this bias
during
the experiment. Arny's tests accomplish this. If your hypothesis was
correct no science would ever be validly performed.
