Scott,

I would like to address points 2 and 3 of you blind test. Your test
is rendered invalid due to these points.

Most conductors have no brain, therefore, attaching 27 electrodes or 2700
is futile. Since this electrode attaching seems to me a major source of
information transfer for your test, I submit that your test is flawed.
Perhaps sensors in the seat of the chair might add validity.

>3) High-fidelity headsets were fitted over both ears, and background
>noise was masked by the the use of negative wavelength counter-oscillators.

Now, Scott, this is silly...everybody knows conductors don't have ears.

Steve.
