I think if you go back to the original Earcatcher Array thread you'll see that it was more about getting feedback on the clarity of the stereo image and balance among the instruments, that sort of thing. It was very much in the spirit of "I'm testing out this new array that I developed and would like to get your impressions on how well it's working." It wasn't an A/B comparison, more of a validation because I think we've all experienced how something that sounds good to us might not sound as good to another listener, and if that listener can articulate why, it can provide valuable feedback.
