Here is what I wrote about it at the time.

Too many of the sources supporting the idea were fringe garbage and inapplicable to the subject of the paper.

An interesting relatively new AES paper from Genelec engineers about testing of audio equipment:

Locked away inside its shell, the brain has ever only learned about the world through our five primary senses. With them, we just receive a fraction of the information actually available, while we perceive far less still. A fraction of a fraction: The perceptual bandwidth. Conscious perception is furthermore influenced by long-term experience and learning, to an extent that perception might be more accurately understood and studied as primarily an inside-to-out phenomena. Summarizing a review of physiological, clinical and psychological research, the paper proposes three types of listening strategies we should distinguish between when conducting subjective tests: Easy listening, trained listening and slow listening.

Prose like that is why I don't put much stock in the AES.
