The correct comparison here might actually be to compare Steorn

That would be Kirk Shanahan. Real, not hypothetical.
Gotcha, Jed. I hadn't read this before writing my earlier response....
But I'll ask again. Did he do a real experiment, or did he merely do
a data re-analysis? I had the impression of the latter, but I do make
mistakes. I know, rare, but .....
(Actually, one of the reasons I can learn quickly is that I make
*plenty* of mistakes. Learning when you don't make mistakes is much harder.)
