Dear TIPSTERS,
I held back on this until I had some facts.
The immediate question that came to mind was "If 83% of radiologists
did not see the gorilla, what was the rate for non-radiologists?"
That is, was there a control group.
Excellent point.
Dr. Drew has kindly supplied me with a preprint of his manuscript
and here are the facts:
Of 24 radiologists, 20 failed to detect the gorilla.
Of 24 non-radiologists, 24 failed to detect the gorilla.
Now that puts a different spin on what I have heard all over the media.
Okay, with all due respect and stuff, but does anyone doubt
someone is going to replicate this study but instead of a gorilla,
its the face of Jesus. If people can find it on a grilled cheese
sandwich, who knows where else they'll find it.
In addition, you can compare Christians vs. Non-Christians.
As usual, anyone who actually does this, I want a co-authorship.
I think. ;-)
