Of course, one who doesn't want to hear arguments from the other side may (1) just don't want to think cogently (as suggested in piece), (2) may have already heard all the arguments and refuted them in their own minds or (3) think they already know it all (whether they do or don't). So conclusions from such tests depend upon the belief systems of those doing the testing.

The conclusion should only be a function of quantities involved, not what they are quantities of, and does not depend on the views of the experimenters. Sylvia.
