Well, I didn't mean that a switching A/B blind test can make me sure of everything to do with the sources. As you and Patrick have pointed out - and I agree with you - long term considerations, which might be very important, would be missing. But to answer your question...if you can't tell blind then you "can't be sure" what is heard sighted is free of influence from expectation, prejudice, peer pressure, suggestion etc. Remove this possibility, and you are left with the truth. As I said previously, long term listening blind might be the only way to kill both these birds with one stone. I accept this might be very difficult...but I really believe listening sighted is unreliable.
