Yes but i'm talking about the statistic having a potentially invalid baseline because of the method of testing gives some people an advantage separate from physical ability to perceive colour depending on how they complete the test.



Could we not also correct by simply telling the participants this technique (I used it too and have the same experience of only being 100% sure after bubble sort)


Yes, but it's probably more reliable to just construct a test that forces them to compare in a pairwise sort, than try to explain how to do it.
