I think I saw that in some documentary but I can't recall either. However I'm curious about your phrasing "this suggests that our conscious mind might often act as a 'spokesperson', justifying actions initiated by our subconscious." To me this is far from a suggestion, it's an observable fact, both in others and in first person. Are there people who don't view it like this? Who think all their actions are conscious decisions and don't catch themselves spinning narrative threads by their biases and fears?
