>>Discovery commences with the awareness of anomaly, i.e., with the recognition that nature has somehow violated the paradigm-induced expectations that govern normal science..<<No such anomaly has been demonstrated either for the IC or for any of the PB tweaks. There is nothing to explain. No paradigms have been violated.
I think JC is right, by the way. I think Feyman WOULD HAVE tried the chip, with an open mind. In the right setting, he might even have heard an effect. And he would have concluded, eventually, after further investigation, that this was still more evidence for the power of suggestion and the fallibility of human perceptions. And he would have found it fascinating.
He might even have tried the photo-in-the-freezer thing...but it would have been, for him, an experiment in the freakiness of human perceptions and the power of suggestion. And he would have found that no less interesting than if the effect had been real.
