Acknowledged. The point I picked up on was Alan Sircoms, and Jim pointed to articles to try and examine this.
I do think it's worth focussing on just one cause at a time, and trying to isolate just that factor. Otherwise we are in the realms of too many variables; too many test environments; and the problem would persist.
As weird as it sounds, I'm not that bothered on the outcome. I'm a process and test engineer at heart, so it's method and conditions of test which interest me.
Agreed - trying to isolate the various potential contributions would be a sensible approach.
However there is a small cabal on this thread (the Church of Double Blind ABX testers) that are not interested in understanding the root causes.
