The middle ground is a straightforward, back-to-back comparison like ZenMindBeginner did. Unfortunately, you can't avoid bias unless there is some degree of blinding. People with preconceptions about how a particular pickup sounds will likely continue to insist that their belief holds true if they know which clips belong to which pickup.
Blinding forces people to be more honest with their perceptions and I think the pushback Ace is receiving in this regard is largely because most of us don't want to have our own beliefs proven wrong. To that end, babying people's beliefs isn't what this comparison should be about.
