For whatever it's worth, I didn't read their post that way. Unsurprising results, validating a null hypothesis, that sort of thing, they're all valuable, but this particular poster seemed to be using the opportunity to bring up their distaste for Cartesian duality and its over-appreciation by society at large. In a sense, "this shouldn't come as a surprise, but it's good they did the study since it stands as another data point in refutation of what's become standard folk dogma about mind/matter duality" -- or something like that.

In any sense, their sentiment didn't seem to be at all opposed to yours, at least to my reading.



That's a fair point, I hope I'm wrong.
