I defer to the mighty Frank Falbo, who gave this a good description.
There are "Gotcha" videos and videos that Emphasize differences. Or clips, demos, whatever.
The Emphasize vids can be done to show distinct differences between certain things, or they can be *ahem* given treatment in a dishonest way for, oh...I don't know, marketing.
The Gotcha vids can be done to demonstrate legitimate inability of our mere human senses to distinguish things that are pure hearsay, myths, and BS, or it can be done to make you feel angry and react badly at failing the test.
But I'm just gonna point out that we are indeed on a guitar pickup forum, and the pushback against this is immense. "Oh it's the compression, the recording, the upload, the blah blah blah." Or it's "He's loud, he's a jerk, he's blah blah blah". That doesn't make the message wrong. Just something to think about.
Lots of people blasting him for his opinion. Yet he did show up with a vid and examples. All most of us have is "anecdotes" which is another word for an opinion.
