I don't think the issue is really a self-administered "blind" test. Anyone can cheat when no one is watching. So a 24/96 vs 16/44 test would be for those who can genuinely get something from it on their own. Or, alternately, as a mechanism through which a blind test can be conducted with others involved (e.g. someone to set up test session, someone to administer it and someone to take it). R.
