I notice hat you didn't quote the portion of  your reference that
states
"One big grain of salt? Neuroscientists don't all agree that using
brain structure to infer behavior or personality makes for sound
science—and Plassmann and Weber acknowledge in their study that some
researchers are skeptical of that methodology in general."

You're criticizing one detail, the attempt to use advanced neuroscience

But there have been many, many tests using simpler methods that returned
the same general results.

Your two references above lack some rather important data... Were the

just someone who walked in off the street.

I ask as I certainly could, and probably still can, tell the deference
between, say,  Gallo Bros. "jug wine" and a decent "bottled wine"  and
I doubt that I'm unique.

In fact there is a "Winery" a few miles from where I live now that in
their marketing shop has all of their wines, from rich to poor,
available for tasting and there is no double that the more costly
wines do have a better taste then the low end bottles.
 

Various wines, beers and liquors have unique tastes, even when they
are derived from the same or similar ingrediants because the
processing and measurements is different. Having different ingrediants
makes them even more unique.

Finding the particular taste and feel that best pleases a person is
one of the things some people do because they are not satisfied with
the status quo.

People who are not satisfied with the status quo are the people who
drive progress.

Can I be better? Can I have a better experience? Individuals' quest to
better themselves is what put humans at the top of the food chain.
