Sure, but by using correct procedures you can obtain reliable, relevant
results from time synched, level matched, DBTs. Fail to apply any of

Of course. The correct procedures for performing  listening tests were
first published in the 1970s. This hasn't stopped the usual suspects 
from skipping over the well-known correct procedures by doing things
like substituting single blind tests for double blind tests.
