"Blind" doesn't refer to avoiding the visual sense. It's about evaluating things based on a limited set of criteria.
For example, televisions can be blind tested by covering up all but the display panel so that the viewer doesn't know which unit is being viewed. This way, the only possible criteria used for evaluation will be picture quality (not, for example, psychological bias about brand names). MCR knows all of this I reckon - and the fact he wants us to explain it must be mean he is actually in favour of blind testing? He-he!
