Thank you for sparring me the dialectic back and forth.
The data from the survey is both subjective and of limited value. Neurological measurements would provide greater insight, especially when accumulated and analyzed from subjects across the panhandle. But we don't get that from Florida Man's Friday night. All we get is a news article. "Florida man runs naked through Gator Mart, shouting I've seen God! Skynyrd is God! And Kid Rock is Jesus!"
Anyway, my point is that personal experiments, like when I was 5 and picked up a bee or climbed the antenna pole to the roof, wearing a batman costume, to see if capes make you fly, are not scientific experiments. We shouldn't treat such a broad term as equal in all contexts.
And I've forgotten how that fits into this conversation.
