The Secretary's explanation of what constitutes a blind study is wrong. A blind study does not mean running a test without the knowledge or consent of the test subjects.

Neither the researcher conducting the experiment nor the participants know which group is which. That is why it is called a blind study. In reality what was just described is called a double blind study.
