>Eh, I'm going to question her ability to identify the difference between a Strad and non-Strad based on this double blind study
lol! That is a brave statement. As @dcsommer said, sample size is tiny.
When you audition for an Opera (well, her auditions anyway...) were always done blind - ie behind a curtain or similar.
When you practice and play at that level, you notice the little things. Same way I can look at C++ source code, or Java, C#, Objective-C or Node.js. I have to stop and think to explain how I know it is C#. I just know.
Again, I didn't say one is better than an other. Just different...
