A bit too simplistic, Adam. As I said ABX shows results which remove the need for people to describe the differences they hear - they can listen in a more relaxed way without anxiety to what way they are going to describe any slight differences they hear. This anxiety, in itself, is often enough to divide attention away from actual listening.
Some people are able to avoid this anxiety & just relax in blind testing, not caring about trying to analyse what they are hearing but just experience how the music is making them feel - a more holistic style of listening.
That's why I criticise the usually organised forum blind tests - they ignore other biases & can insert this type of new bias into the mix - all of which favours a null result
So, mixing up ABX with the usual forum blind tests is a complete over-simplification.
How many ABX tests have been done on this forum?
How many blind tests have been done & called for on this forum?
They are NOT both the same thing
