That's the primary reason I forwarded this along. Do you
think that MAYBE a test with a CONTROL GROUP would have proved
fruitful? Is this experiment REPEATABLE?
Feynman complained that most psychology experiments are never
repeated, and thus the process of peer review in the field of
psychology is rendered useless. Eliminating variables seems to be a
waste of time.
Here's a good joke for their tests:
Man: Do you ride this train often?
Woman: Every day.
Punchlines:
Man: Ah, I think I've seen you here before
Man: Which stop is yours?
Man: <steps on rake>
