Not to support the loonies here, but your test could fail even if the effects are valid. Simple example, happens with me and some people I know: I am able to hear the very high-pitch sound emitted by old CRTs. I can clearly distinguish some of them being switched on or off immediately (I'm looking at you Sony Black Trinitron), some I can't hear ever, but some are on the threshold of conscious hearing: i.e. I get a sense of relief once the TV is shut-off, but wouldn't have picked up it being switched on.
I would fail a blind test testing for the ability to hear CRT TVs, and I know for sure that I can hear them.
