Consequently they used methods incapable of actually finding the non-obvious truth. So it's junk science. It's a good example of the power of Popperian philosophy (called "TCS" above). The study is about intuitions (aka gut feelings). But they don't understand what it is. They are subconscious ideas. And since people have difference subconscious ideas, their "intuitions" are different. -- Rami Rustom http://ramirustom.blogspot.com
