And would you explain why a significant level was reached on the "A" cable
test with 96 trials? Was that "cherry picking". C'mon, Stewart, you know
better. In fact the real issue here is: if one cable can be so readily
picked out, why can't the other be? What is it in the test, procedure,
quality of the cables, order bias, or what. Something is rotten in the
beloved state of ABX here!

All that the above proves (especially since the results were marginal
at best) is that there's a random distribution in the results which
favoured A *on this occasion*. Run that trial again, and I'll put an
even money bet that you'll have a slight bias in favour of B.

Anyone familiar with Statistical Process Control is well aware that
one swallow doesn't make a summer.
