Yes, I am sure you would be disappointed, but positive results in a sighted test only tell you that there *might* be differences, not that there actually are. I am sure you are familiar with the large number of cases where people have heard differences in sighted listening, only to find out that the switch box didn't actually switch anything. If there are audible differences identifies in the sighted listening, and the listeners can identify what they are and focus on them, they should be able to hear the differences in a double-blind situation too. Not only that, but the differences should be measurable too. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
