Which doesn't support your claim. You wrote "Stradivarius can't be told 
from modern ones in blind hearing tests", The article states:

"the 82 listeners in the test reported that the new violins projected 
better"

"asked subjects which of the two violins in a pairing they preferred. 
Listeners chose the new violins over the old"

Yes, they could tell the difference.

Which again doesn't support the claim that people couldn't tell the 
difference. It also doesn't state what qualifications the tasters had, 
if any. I've had crappy $100 bottles of wine and excellent $25 bottles 
of wine. Flavor preference is not the same than as "can't tell the 
difference".
