Single blind studies do exist though... For some reason.

If the experimenter never really interacts with the participants and there is no subjective measurement being made there isn't really any benefit to being double blind, it's just overhead at that point

Well then, how will they gloat and laugh in the participant's face like in the comic?

And they’re two scientists so it’s really double single blinded win!

Yes, I think some treatments cannot be done without the scientist knowing.
