Gordon Strong vs Brulosophy

In a triangle test, pure chance is one third not 50/50

Facepalm.

No good. If I want to join in with this thread I'm going to have to break a habit of a lifetime and figure out what that word means...

Oh,

is that what people have been saying about me all this time.

There are several things that should be done in those testing trials to make them more definitive. The first thing is that the tasters should be tested and rated for their abilities to detect the differences that the testing trial is trying to ascertain. Second, only qualified and sensitized tasters should be used. Third, tasters should know what they are assessing and their assessments should continue to be via triangle testing (find the differing sample in three).

Fully agree, but it should be noted that a BJCP rank doesn't mean that they are qualified and sensitized tasters. There are hundreds of faults and I'm not going to contend that I'm adequately sensitized to all of them.
