Seems like a pretty crappy experiment to pit the reaction time of an ex-professional athlete against (presumably) more typical people.

- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoI can't tell if you're joking or not ... are you? Given the context it seems odd that you should interpret the anecdotes as being entirely serious and make such a serious comment, but perhaps I'm just having a sarcasm-detect failure ...
- dkarl 17y agoIt's dual-purpose. Anyone who thought the article was tongue-in-cheek can assume that I too am being light-hearted. Anyone who thinks the article took Bohr's results seriously can take my comment seriously. Between the dry humor of Brits and the general idiocy of science reporting, I don't think there's any way to tell which is more appropriate.
