If you look at my post above about how extremely small changes in settings can results in huge differences in output, then you'll start getting an idea of how impossible doing this test would actually be.

BTW, if you're interested in a technical discussion of summing math, you might want to check out this thread:

Summing Math - 3dB
You should read my post again. You're essentially agreeing with me.
And by the way, the test is not impossible. It has been done time and time again.
