I read this as you don't trust him (fine, no real reason to), but you
should trust the method (assuming it was performed "honestly").
Digital level matching is the "modification"; either trust, or not, that this is a valid means of level-matching.
edit: and we're not "picking and choosing" anything...in fact, you're simply failing to realize that we're following the scientific method (seemingly because you don't understand how digital editing of raw PCM works).

Nope, not required. You seem to think digital level matching of the file ruins it, I've explained it doesn't, you won't believe me, I don't really give a crap.
That said, I really can't / won't bother helping you any longer, sorry. I don't have more time or energy; my job requires my brain at 100% and you're dragging it down into the fanciful world of the illogical wherein you seemingly reside.
Suffice it to say, you apparently can't move past a "modified file"; this despite some modification (i.e., level matching) NEEDING to be done to make the test VALID! This is INDISPUTABLE
if you agree with SCIENCE and the scientific method!
I really don't have the desire to say any more to you. If we can't move past this, it's not worth more time; honestly I've already spent too much -- wanna pay my hourly rate to continue to debate this stupidity with you, fine...FYI: it clocks in north of $100 an hour.
If you simply want to further belly-ache about zilch's chosen means of level matching, do it with him. I already tried to explain why it's just as good (or even better) than an analog match. You're either ignoring or not comprehending this.
