of course this doesn't even address the single-blind
nature of the test.
Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans


The test was immune to the Clever Hans Effect as the
moderator sat behind and to the side and was not in the
listener's view. The listener didn't know what he was
listening to or comparing. All he had was a remote with 2
buttons, labeled A and B. All he could see were the
loudspeakers and the amplifier volume display. Levels
were matched. The listener listened on his own and could
switch between A and B for as long as he wished. He
didn't know what was being compared until after he had
handed in his results. Of its type, it was quite a
well-designed test.


Wrong, but I bet that Atkinson can't figure out why.
