Also, as far as finding direct evidence for this mechanic, it is difficult to impossible to directly prove something does not exist. That is why it is always on the side to prove something does exist, in a logical world at least (ie science, law).

The quote below is pretty much direct evidence that sneak didn't blur mobs:

35th+ level mobs don't always clear your name on the taunt list when you FD. One way to double check if they are headed back after you (and you can not actually see them behind a wall or such) you can press the sneak button before you get up, when you get up, do a "c"on to see if they are indifferent. If they have their back toward you and had a sucessful FD blur, and they con indifferent, you know that guy fell for it!

Basically what he's saying is if the FD memblur worked they'll be indifferent but if it didn't work they won't even with your sneak on while FD.
Its an interesting thread to read regarding the topic and this thread is from Jan 2001, a little over a month after Velious released.

Autumn, what he said was sneak, then stand up from the feign and con the mob going back. If it's indiff, it memblurred. If it glares/scowls (assuming it's not an always scowls mob), it's time to hit the dirt.
I use this all the time. The sneak isn't memblurring you, the sneak is checking if you memblurred.
On lvl31- mobs (It's 32+ that don't always memblur, not 35), you can sneak and stand up as soon as they turn around to go back, saving you a little time.

So apparently, the current FD / Sneak ONLY ever worked on lower then 32 level mobs.

Think about it this way. Say you are pulling something through all the twists and turns of Guk and have to feign it. Well once it starts going back to its spawn point/wandering path it will get out of visual range. To test to see if it is memblurred if you stand and sneak, chances are you are behind the mob still, So if its memblurred, and you stand up sneaking it should con indifferent.
IF you stand up sneaking, and it scowls:
1) Its still aggro'd on you, and its coming back to beat the living snot out of you.
OR
2) Its facing you and has been blurred.
At least that is my take on the tactic.
