Les expressions contenant le mot «aveugle», abondamment utilisées, ont fait l’objet de mises en garde [par certains auteurs], car il s’agit d’un calque de l’anglais. Il faut reconnaître qu’«en double aveugle» est maintenant lexicalisé dans le Petit Robert [...] Toutefois, [certains auteurs] privilégient toujours les expressions «à l’insu» et «à double insu», avec raison, car l’utilisation du mot «aveugle» entraîne parfois des expressions quelque peu étranges (p. ex. : levée d’aveugle, l’aveugle doit être contrôlé tout au long de l’étude). 4, record 1, French, - essai%20%C3%A0%20double%20insu
