Sometimes I read psych/science stuff and it seems a bit weird or implausible, but I just assume that either I've forgotten to the point of incomprehension most of contents of my degree course already, or the field has really moved on in the last... 9 months. Whilst the former is likely enough still true, it's at least slightly comforting that the ever-reliable Mind Hacks blog is around to confirm that often the case is just lazy/ill-informed journalism.

(oh.... just realised I left a comment on the article, where I sound like a bit of a twat, and now I'm sharing the article link around..... (realised as in just connected these two things together... ok, well, whatever))

did you delete you comment? i dont see it.
it's impossible to come off as nice and normal in internet comments, why is that? i left one today and sounded like a right moody bastard, and you know that's rarely true

nah i think it just didn't come up yet (they do warn you that they can't print them all due to volume - i can see that 6 on the page might be pushing it, internet paper's pretty expensive)
ummm yeah i guess it must be something like the personal engagement you have with a piece, leading you to make a comment, compared to the context it actually appears in to anyone else passing by...
(oh, rhetorical question? umm... ok so's that then?)
Wasn't rhetorical, i knew you'd have opinions/insights. i thought it might be something to do with the little winks and nods that accompany most of my comments in real life, which are lost electronically...but your idea works too x
yeah all that extra-lexical stuff too, spesh general yorkshireness x
