And you ignore the fact that the brains auditory processing is not simple
physical registering, but also pattern matching and the ability to make
sense out of things that in and of themselves, in isolation, may not make
sense or even "register".

C'mon. The brain can't react to a stimulus that doesn't reach it. Period.

As far as I (and others of my persuasion can tell, there has never been
serious auditory research conducted either in support or against the use of
dbt abx'ng (or even a-b'ng) as a testing device *FOR THE OPEN ENDED
EVALAUTION OF AUDIO COMPONENTS*.

DBTs don't test components; they test hearing. You are claiming that human
hearing operates differently when listening to audio components than when
listening to anything else. When you come up with some evidence to support
that claim, we'll be glad to consider it.
