Whether the baseball goes farther or the trumpet sounds better is so
dependent upon the skill of the player... and we know some of this is
psychological... I don't know if scientists can do much verification
or
debunking in these areas. What do the rest of you think?
Since the trumpet/bat/... look identical for treated and untreated
cases, this is an ideal sort of candidate for double-blind testing which
would be accepted as definitive if done well.
Double-blind testing has been done with violins (Strad's vs. 'just
expensive' and with flutes of Platinum vs Silver.) It takes a VERY
well trained ear to 'appreciate' the subtle differences.
