Absolutely. Another source of gullibility (or arrogance, really), is on the part of pure objectivists (scientists) that place unrealistic and biased tests in front of you to make you fail.

Biased tests? How so. Please elaborate but try to make me understand. No one wants you to fail. That doesn't advance knowledge.
Truth is, I don't care which cable is in place. That immediately removes your theory about imagining things, because I could care less which one sounds better.
Ah, you still don't get it. Bias is subconscious, no on/off switch, cannot be willed away. So, you have no idea but your bias does.
Since the test is easily repeatable (I've owned these interconnects for years), I could easily tell you which one was in place, in use with my equipment.
Your flawed testing is repeatable, or audibl differences exists with bias controlled protocols? If the latter, please cite those tests.
You're the plaintiff; you prove me wrong!
This isn't a court of law. You have the burden, as the claimant of miracles, you prove that you are right. That is how it is done in the court of science.
You really have issues. Miracles? The fact that I could pick my cabling out in a DBT with familiar gear makes me, what, a sorceror?
Your blind faith in scientific testing is admirable, as it removes the need to think. Gotta appreciate the simpicity there. However, it seems you get short-circuited when someone comes along to say "hey, I'll take your test, and I'll pass with flying colors." Then of course my testing is "flawed" somehow, because of course it's impossible to distinguish?
Taking two well-constructed interconnects that have known audible properties to their owner, using gear that has known audible properties, and hearing a difference, is not complex. This is very easy to do, and I wonder why you can't see that. I don't need to ses them, or know the brand, or whatever. Those things may affect a test, I agree, but not here.
To say there's no on/off switch for bias; this intrigues me. I assume you mean for "preference." You'd be wrong. Anyone willing to remain objective in the interest of science is easily willed into being. No more difficult than being a judge. We shouldn't care about anything but taking the steps required to improve your system, based on the specific gear owned. Saying it cannot be willed away is just a theory (like evolution) only far more assumptive...
Any two interconnects might sound similar or different, but once you are aware of those differences it's a repeatable known quantity.
Welcome....To the real world....
