Maybe the "successful" subjects in psi experiments differ from the others in that they can influence the charges on the neurons in the experimenters' brains so as to make them _believe_ the subject did well. Sure saves the subjects the chore of influencing all these boring random bits one by one. So-called sceptics have myelin sheathing with better insulating properties. -- Lambert Meertens, CWI, Amsterdam; lambert@mcvax.UUCP
