as someone who is trained in the hard sciences but has now drifted into what is essentially social science research, I can say that much of this is difficult, if not impossible to quantify. The mind does not fit well with parameterization.
As Hamlet said, "And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Or if you prefer, as Winston Zeddmore said, "Since I joined these men, I've seen **** that'll turn you white."
Never underestimate the power of the mind, and don't try and siimplify the operation or break it down into black/white terms. It just isn't that way...
