It might have caught on to your attitude, mind ;-)
To drag in a pet hobby horse (pun intended).
Kluger Hans (Clever Hans) turns out to have been a much odder experiment than people ever thought. Sure, Hans cheated on the mathematics test by means of cold reading the audience.
Original conclusion: Horses are dumb.
But guess what? Today you can buy a part that does maths for you for under a dollar apiece in rolls of 500. But a system that does what Kluger Hans (arguably) actually did? Costs on the order of several billion dollars in 2025.
