Not at all.. they'll create the test so that there's a 1 in a million chance at least of getting it right. (EDIT: Getting right through chance)

To do that they'll have to either increase the # of people (which they won't because it's just this guy), or increase the # of trials.

So if they did 20 trials of ABX testing and he got it right 19 times or something like that.
