Well there is a Hi-Fi mag that uses this standard (or used to) and the
panel
that sat in on these tests could not agree on what they heard from each
product.
So scientific or not it's a mockery.

Am I reading this right?

You KNOW there MUST be a difference?

Given the amount of gear that under went review and the different
conclusions reached by many members of the review then yes.
If you think everything sounds the same then you might as well go out and
buy a crystal set.

So tests that reveal no difference are a mockery?

I did not say that. Entirely depends whats under test.
There are many similiar sounding products on the market weather speaker
cables, interconnects or CD players or whatever (which could include
anything you have in mind).
