Potential Flaws
The ABX test is able to assert if A is identifiably different from B, however it must be performed correctly in order to produce a meaningful result. For example, all test results must be counted in order for the result to be valid. This include previous failed tests, which might not be made public, while the successful ones are, or repeated tests. All tests performed should be summed, and the p value calculated from the sum, not an individual test. Other problems might arise from the abx equipment itself, such as a tell from the equipment or poor volume matching in the case of audio tests.

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or flaws:
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
““Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
