Objective intelligibility measurements

[Kevin Austin <kevin.austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm not sure that the word "objective" is being used correctly here.  
From my understanding perception (and perceptual evaluation) are  
anything but "objective"; I understand these methods to demonstrate  
statistical responses across the group tested, at the time of the  
testing. Unless this is about the intelligibility of the object being  
tested, in which case I think it would be "Object intelligibility  
measurements".

Best wishes

Kevin
