Trouble is, if you don't know -why- something is happening, and you
don't know -what- precisely is happening, and you don't know if the
subjects are even aware of it, it's pretty hard to do anything with
that information.  

For all we know, adding supertweeters to speakers and moving to a
hi-rez format will make music sound -worse-, since then there will be
anharmonically related HF sounds from music and background interfering.
Or something.  Point being, without a good theory, data is useless.

Beware of conspiracy theories.  Everything can be explained by a
conspiracy...  

What I think is more likely is that this research is deeply flawed (for
example because they may have messed up the statistics, and their
results are not actually significant).  At least in my field of
science, when that kind of thing happens the community just ignores the
paper - no one wants to waste their precious time debunking something
everyone already knows is wrong.
