But the vast majority of this 'research' didn't concentrate solely on whether there is a difference or not. Instead it introduced other parameters which by their nature are likely to skew the results becuase they require additional brain processing - and as you say, that's where errors are most likely to occur. Indeed, your own experiment made this fundamental error too.
