About this debate on proof, you can't prove it's audible OR inauible,
which is all I said.  You can do a proper (blind) test, get it right X
out of Y times, and that provides statistical, probabalistic evidence
for one or the other.  But it obviously can never prove it either way -
even if you get it right 1000/1000 times, there's a 2^-1000 that could
happen even if there's no difference and you were guessing.

Furthermore, I think you're incorrect to think there's a difference in
formal logic between "positive" and "negative" statements.  How do you
decide which is which?  For example, is "p implies q" a positive
statement?  If so, how about "not q implies not p"?  Sounds pretty
negative... but the two statements are identical.

Anyway, this is pretty far off the subject.  Does anyone now think they
can hear the difference, and if so have they tried a blind test to
actually check?
