I have been fooled, and I've fooled others. The basic
trick i've used is to make a good close-miced recording
of a small group performing in a room, and then play the
recording back in the same room from pretty good
speakers in the same general vicinity as the origional
performance.

Well, yeah. But I'm still suspicious about that "close
inspection part" ;-)

Point well taken. I doubt that there would have been any problem discerning
the audible difference in a close comparison. But as others have pointed
out, real world listening tends to be monadic, which is an inherently
insensitive type of evaluation.
