That'd be an easy one to implement.
I'm completely with you in how you're going about this. Sensible steps taken to do a fair comparison. But at the end of the day, you don' t always need representative population sampling with an N>x, and a p<.05 to know that, for example, "every time my fiance drinks white wine, she has an asthma type reaction and I don't get...ahhh, I don't get....ahhh, 'how 'bout next week, then, honey?' "
[Though trained as a scientist, I do get irritated by the science "game" in certain contexts]
