Did You See That?
Anyone see this on Dateline? It was a show dedicated to how our brains can deceive us.
It's actually amazing...
In one test, a stranger walks up to a person on the street to ask for directions.
They are immediately interupted and sperated by two guys carrying a big sign, distracting the test subject. The stranger is "switched" for another person, then the conversation is continued.
It's interesting how many people didn't notice that they were talking to a completely new person, sometimes of a different sex.
Another test has customers approaching a counter. The employee talks to them, then bends down out of site behind the counter to get their stuff. Another person pops up and carries on the conversation, and people don't notice.
In one case, it was a dark haired woman in her 20s first talk to a customer, then a shorter, blonde woman in her 50's "pops up" and takes her place. They aren't trying to trick people with identical twins.

(This will make you think twice about eye-witness testimony.)
