This is how I picture the situation (sorry for the snark):
"When I bought this product, the upgrade in audio quality was so blindingly obvious that I almost couldn't believe it! The neighbor's wife came over and told me that she had heard it in her kitchen and had told her husband to buy whetever it was she was hearing, or she'd divorce him. It's amazing how this company has pushed the technology of audio reproduction light-years ahead of its competition. $X000 is a steal! Imagine how heavenly a $X0000 version of this design must sound!
What? You want me to test the audibility? No, no, no! Those tests will mask the differences. It's subtle. I'm on a quest for perfection and I'd gladly pay $X000 to get the additional 0.0001% performance. I have a TRUE appreciation of music, and without that minute subtlety, the sound becomes pure agony to me. Those misguided tests won't be able to convey that."
Do you understand why I'm confused?
And yes, there's no perfect test, and there's no perfect interpretation of test results... but come on you guys.
Sometimes you don't need a teaspoon to shovel shit.
