Thanks, Betsy, you've hit the nail on the head. Jonathan, I'm not questioning any concepts, but I do think there may be a physiological reason for a pattern over 2/3 of us have observed - at least my simple survey suggests this. Mind you, I was not looking to gather Jakob Nielsen type statistics (47% of all respondents are dumber than the facilitator). Rather, I wanted to see if a tendency existed. It clearly does. I'd like to write this up, not as a scientific article, but as something that might encourage scientific research by those who are trained in the appropriate specialties. Maybe it IS time for our community to learn a bit about brain surgery :-) (or at least brain anatomy).

It depends. I don't question the basic scientific concept of gravity, or increasing average global temperature, or that humans need water to survive. Or that the brain sends signals to the nerve endings, some of which result in sensations perceived as pleasant and some not. I don't claim to be a neurologist or a cognitive scientist for that matter, but I do think this is something that has been established as a *basic* concept that we are now in the process of fleshing out more, as Eric is attempting to do with his survey.
