For it to be double-blind, the persons administering the tests would also need to be unaware of which file each tester got until after the test was completed. It was unclear whether they were or were not. A blind test is certainly of more value than one which is not, but it is not as good as a double-blind test. You are also extrapolating too much from that test. While Ogg Vorbis might have been superior at the low bit rates they tested (64, 128, and 160), it may not have fared nearly so well in a test against a high quality VBR MP3. We just don't know.
