Yah, definitely nonesense. Those brainscans really get old reruns of bugs bunny.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Bugs bunny! Ha ha ha ha!

I marvel at the fact that people still hear about very small sample research preliminary findings and eat it up, asking for seconds.

"But look," they cry. "They used fancy machines with das blinken lights!"

I marvel at the fact that people don't realize science is a process. They just want a big YES or NO sign. It's much slower and muddier than that.

If these sort of studies indicated no difference then a few more would be done. If they concluded the same then that would be it.

Something was found so more studies will be done. More and more studies will be done by lots of different people testing different things.

Hopefully after a time we'll get to the truth.

That's how nonesense is turned into science. You'll of course still say nonesense because there just can't be a way of training the brain for some reason.

Sure thing.

You're going to hate this article too.
