In fact,
vision helps us integrate information across modalities (e.g., providing
information about what we are hearing or touching). Thus, the absence of
vision may lead to poor performance on many non-visual tasks.

Yes, bingo! Well said. The senses help each other out. I've been saying
this all along.

You are such an incompetent borg that you come and copy-paste a writing
here that is saying almost the SAME THING as I have been saying (and
some of the other "normals") for a long time now; That seeing and
knowledge aids us in hearing the more delicate and intracate details
that get steamrolled over during DBT's and especially ABXing. That the
senses help each other out.

This is EXACTLY the reason why subtle differences *seem to* disappear
under the ABX precept. That one is supposed to be *deprived* of vision
(knowledge) in order to taste better, or hear better is an abomination
for the normal human being. All of our faculties of sensory perception
function interdependent of each other ALL DURING OUR LIVES. This is
absolutely normal. What is grotesquely abnormal is that in an ABXing
ritual you are depriving the faculties of sense and perception from
functioning normally, from the way they are used to function all the
duration of their existence and all the while you are claiming that
ABXing is supposed be a test to see if there are differences between
this or that source of audio while in reality it is a test of extreme
adaptation abilities, whether they exist or not, of the subject, the
poor soul that takes the test.

Obviously DBT'ing should be done, but it is something to be done by the
professionals, something to be worked at, practiced for a lifetime.
