Does Brain Imaging Make You Dumb?

#3 and #4 are non sequiturs, but a subject who is given no chance to ask for clarifications might reasonably assume that, since the study looks stupid anyway, someone was quoting scientific research badly and there must be something to the brainscans that are being quoted. In other words, the subject might assume that the explanations are not intentionally fuzzy -- they were just written by someone who didn't do a good job summarizing the research.

If I were given these four explanations I would want to ask more questions. Not given the chance to do so, if I had to bet one one of them I might bet on #3 or #4 not because they make sense to me but because they are obviously badly written but they hold the potential of containing an explanation -- whereas #1 and #2 are simply tautological. posted 03/23/2008 at 03:59:25
