Practice blindfold chess? Research says no! (Openings)

Just re-read my above post and thought I better add - that I can't play blindfold - don't wish to appear that I posses this skill and am demeaning those who don't.

So far I can make a few opening moves of an opening I'm familiar with, but that's about it. I do envy people who can play blindfold if for no other reason than it must make studying chess books so much easier if you don't need to set the pieces up on a board to follow the moves and the variations.
