Hearsay doesn't count.
I wonder if anybody has ever taken a "challenge" like the one I'm about to propose, and passed it?
Have somebody play 30 guitars for the subject, from behind a curtain that prevents the subject from seeing the guitars. Label the guitars 1 to 30. Play the same exact passage on each guitar.
Then, come back an hour later, and play the guitars again (in random order). Same guitarist, same place, same piece of music, etc. Have the subject assign the correct number to each guitar.
Repeat the next day, the next week, the next month, and then the next year . . just for fun.
Maybe there are a FEW who could pass such a test with statistical significance (at least an hour or day later).
