You have no way of knowing if it ever failed or not, because you don't know the technique for testing for the presence of micro-gold. The directions for that Kellyco test kit don't tell how to test for micro-gold, and you probably don't even know what micro-gold even is or looks like.
Why would anyone need in istructions to test micro gold..It is gold just smaller..Wow...Art
Because it is "micro"scopic---you can't see it.
Random Double-Blind Tests for LRLs
Some people want to cause confusion by disputing the definition of "double-blind test."
Wikipedia---
"
Double-blind describes an especially stringent way of conducting an experiment, usually on human subjects, in an attempt
to eliminate subjective bias on the part of both experimental subjects and the experimenters. In most cases, double-blind experiments are held to achieve a higher standard of scientific rigor."
World English Dictionary---
"
double-blind — adj. (Compare single-blind) of or relating to an experiment to discover reactions to certain commodities, drugs, etc, in which
neither the experimenters nor the subjects know the particulars of the test items during the experiments."
Because most double-blind testing done these days, is by drug and food companies, some LRLers have cherry picked only those definitions found which contain the word "groups" within them. So they want to insist that there must be a large group of LRLers tested at once, for the test to qualify as "double-blind."
However, as can be seen, the term "double-blind" refers
only to
who doesn't know what the key element is, which would be the tester and the testee.
Sometimes these tests must, by their nature, involve groups of people, but not always.
If only a piece of equipment is being tested for performance, only the equipment and the operator are required to participate. This is confirmed by the following additional definitions---
Wiktionary---
"
double-blind test (plural double-blind tests) A form of scientific testing in which neither the tester nor the subjects tested know which are the control items and which are the test items."
Although the above definition uses the plural form, "subjects," it does not say that a "group" must be tested, and the plural form simply refers to "people." Many "people" can do Carl's test---
one at a time. Note: The "control items," as mentioned in the above definition, would be the empty target locations, in an LRL test.
The Free Dictionary---
"
double blind /dou·ble blind/ (dub´'l blīnd´) pertaining to an experiment in which neither the subject nor the person administering treatment knows which treatment any particular subject is receiving.
In this one, the word "subject" is in the singular form. Carl's test is double-blind. None of the particular LRLers, which might take his test over the years, will know which location contains the real target. And neither will the administrator.
In LRL testing, the "random" part means that the objective is changed at random, so the operator, if failing one part of the test, cannot eliminate that objective location and thus have fewer to choose from in the next test.
A random, double-blind test is the only method which qualifies as a means of certified proof of the performance of an LRL.
Example---
Carl's double-blind test, and reward for
$25,000.00.
I will add to the list from time-to-time, as I become aware of more items.
A Dozen Points Proving LRL Fraud These points have never been rationally refuted.
"The level of sanity or insanity of the subject matter, determines the level of sanity or insanity of the two-way communication attainable in any discussion."
