Do "experts" have brains?
No.
Headline:
SF State researcher explores how information enters our brains
We may have less control over our thoughts than previously assumed
WHO EVER ASSUMED THAT WE DO HAVE CONTROL?
Nobody I can think of. From Augustine to Freud and beyond, all competent thinkers assumed the exact opposite. In fact, most of those thinkers FAMOUSLY worried and prayed and worked to get MORE control over their conscious thoughts, because they KNEW that we have VERY LITTLE control over our conscious thoughts.
Well, what did this expert actually "find"?
"The data support the view that, when one is performing a desired action, conscious thoughts about alternative plans still occupy the mind, often insuppressibly," said Morsella.
EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. IT'S NOT NEWS OR INFORMATION IN ANY SENSE AT ALL.
In this case I shouldn't be blaming the "expert"; the real problem is the administrators and journal editors and accreditation agencies who continue to accept and reward this utterly pointless drivel.
