I'd certainly acknowledge that blind tests have issues, but would argue they are fewer than for the sighted alternative.
If you hold that these types of blind tests have fewer issues then it's simple to test this. Use the controls I suggested at the next DB IV & "prove" that the blind test is picking up the differences that have been heard using ABX tests
If it does pick up these differences, I will concede that you are correct.
If it doesn't pick up these differences you have to conceded that this blind test is flawed
What's going on in these discussions is an argument over which flawed "test" is better. One side saying they are equal & the other saying one is superior. It is up to the side claiming superiority to prove this rather than just engage in rhetoric.
