I don't believe the measuring tests are really that accurate.  If you
doubt 
this, consider: voice recognition is extremely difficult for even the most

sophsticated equipment, yet trivially easy for even children.  The same is

true for image recognition.  Measurements might be good enough for the
cell 
phone generation, but that ain't sayin' much.

Theoretically, if it can't be measured it can't be heard.  But just
because 
it can be measured doesn't mean it is being measured.
