One of the principles of testing in any field of human endeavor is
to try to emulate as much as possible the conventional
context of the variable under test.

Exactly. And that is exactly the path we followed while developing ABX.
That
you would mention that concept and the OOhashi test and all of the
technical
gyrations that it imposes on the normal listening experience in the same
post, is a true wonder!

Yeah, the standard seems to be that an negative ABX test conducted in
someone's living room is too unfamiliar to be reliable. But a positive
listening test conducted in an MRI tube, well, that's the gold
standard!
