I've expressed what I've done.
No, you've made vague claims at having done some blind testing of some ill defined form in the distant past and having now moved beyond it in some mysterious, undefined way.

And although your description sounds impressive, I'm trying to figure out what any of what you listed has to do with the subject at hand. Do you listen to MRI units and and electron microscopes? Don't attempt to impress the uninitiated with specious arguments.
Well, at least you admit that you are not familiar with what any of this has to do anything.... You may want to catch up on the current state of the art in audio research. There are at least two important things that have become possible in the last 10 to 5 or so years (briefly):
1) fMRI analysis of brain activation in response to stimuli; as in knowing whether the brain actually responds to a particular audio signal or not. Along with that, we can also watch other portions of the brain activate when the subject is told that a certain stimuli is present, but not (for example, a cable that is supposed to make a difference, but doesn't.) Of particular relevance is the fact that when the subject is told to listen for the inaudible, no signal is detected. When the subject is told a signal is present, but there is not, portions of the brain, unconnected to audio processing kick in.
2) understanding at the molecular level how the ear processes audio signals. We now know from studying things like ion activation channels and protein pathways what the upper and lower limits are on the mechanical and electrical capabilities of the ear, including not only frequency response, but phase response and impulse response. We are also understand some of the genomics that governs these limits.
MRI units, in part, make the 1st possible. Mass spec and electron microscopes etc. make the 2nd possible.
Edit: and I really hope I don't have to explain the relevance of a semi anechoic testing chamber?
