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. > >>> and wines (cheap wines really light up pleasure centers in the brain >>> if tasters are told the wine is expensive), >> >> more horseshit.

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".
