My thoughts on C/N/S aside, all I was actually saying is that "double-blind hasn't reached biomedicine" is inaccurate. It's here, even if it's not widely used (I'd actually guess it's more widely used in biomedicine rather than some other fields). I'm not actually convinced unmasking is "trivially easy". Anecdotally, as a reviewer for the American Journal of Epidemiology, which is double-blind, I've had 4 cases where I've gone "I totally know who did this". In all four I've been wrong. In one case, I actually knew the authors personally. Now, it's possible I'm just uniquely bad at this, but I'm not sure it's as easy as everyone thinks it is.
