Given that two home administered tests (blind & sighted) are equal in
their unreliability, I prefer to use the one that is most like my normal
listening - the sort of listening I will be using to enjoy said device
if I decide to hold onto the device. I personally find it much more
reliable (it has proved itself to me over time) & useful then the
pseudo-scientific, home-administered blind listening that is often
attempted to be perpetrated as somehow more reliable, scientific,
believable. And if you don't have blind test results then ......

So your attempt at trying to show that I think sighted listening is
superior based on scientific principles, is silly - as I already said.
