Can you give any examples of people identifying these artifacts in a/b tests?

Who has the best ears? What can they detect?

OK, so we are entering the stage of "can you provide a double-blind study link". I can look it up, I am not a researcher. Here is one: https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/134...

I know from my 20-ish year mixing experience that I can hear the difference when mixing. Is it good evidence? No. So we can agree to disagree then.

This is my first time seeing any research like this, thanks for the link.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm really curious about the limits of what people can hear, what can be taught and what is rare.
