This goes against another deep worry, major misevaluations in semeais;
they usually do involve plenty of false eyes and this will lead to even
more distorted biases. Semeais occur far more frequently than living by
false eyes (though Jean-Loup has found a couple of real examples when
digging through automated playtesting game records).
