Temporal dominance is not intensity. Descriptive citation frequency is not concentration, liking or quality.
Blend testing should choose a method by decision: detect a change, describe its direction, judge target fit, or map evolution through the finish.
Discrimination tests ask whether samples differ; descriptive methods characterize attributes and intensities; temporal methods track which sensations dominate or change over time. These methods answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
