Without fanning the flames of what may well turn into yet another
heated thread of DBT versus subjective testing, what is more likely to
be said by the true believers of all things DBT at the conclusion of
such a "properly" conducted test is that your ability to reliably hear
the difference between wav and flac files (as verified by the results of
the DBT) is statistically insignificant and therefore doesn't prove
anything, regardless of the fact that you may have gotten things right
100% of the time.

In other words, if a statistically significant percentage of the people
say that the emperor has clothes then the emperor has clothes, his
sunburned behind not withstanding damn it.
