It would be interesting to see the details of such test... I'm 
wondering how long the listeners listened to each bitrate. Average 
Joe might not notice any significant difference on short listening, 
but on longer listening (when the artifacts "grow" on you) I belive 
most people would hear the difference in quality (and clarity).
