This is an excellent point that I did consider.  However, in the
violin-piano-clarinet-violin morphing example I described in my original
email, it was clear that many subjects had repeatable boundaries in
audition.  However, there was a non-trivial population that was reliably
able to distinguish between every discrete sample.  We could have
increased sample resolution, but the time required for the experiment
would have likely become prohibitive.
