There is a fundamental difference between data that are unfavourable and data that do not meet the requirements of the test.

Many users submitted their data under the incorrect assumption that the scale of 1–5 was a rank of their preference for each individual sample, with each value being useable only once. In actuality, the scale was supposed to be used as their rating of perceived quality for each sample, with no limit to the number of occurrences.

So, I don’t think your reference is relevant.

Whether or not it’s possible to confidently identify the data that do not meet the actual specification, to discard them, and to retain sufficient numbers to draw a useful conclusion is another question entirely.
