No worries. I can appreciate your doubts. We'll all find out before too long. I am expecting any testing to at least meet the minimum standard of rigor which will satisfy arnyk and others here. I'll be disappointed if I can't identify the X as A or B for 12 samples, but I'll have to revise that view if my sighted testing raises unexpected challenges. My understanding is that several of our fellow members here claim that there is no difference in sound quality between basic copper zip cord and professionally engineered hi-end audio cables (irrespective of conductor, dielectric, etc). So we aren't even talking about an entry line audiophile cable versus a flagship. I would not claim so boldly that I will choose that X correctly as the difference will likely not be nearly as great as what I'm anticipating.
