@Vonskippy - yappy ass dogs are good for other things too. I run a business here in California for people who want all the benefits of owning a dog but can't (for whatever reasons) own one. For $80 a month I'll come over to your house twice a week and spread dog cr*p all over your back yard.

@ Staggerlee - I assume you use the word "skeptic" in the CSICOP trademarked sense, no? These birthers are, in fact, skeptics. Just not the kind that Prometheus Press blathers about. You're not being lumped in with anybody. Relax.

Molyneaux's question dealt with something slightly (but significantly) different. Unlike the children in this experiment, Molyneaux's hypothetical person has been acquainted with these objects since birth (but, of course, by touch alone.) The question was whether or not this person, on receiving their sight, would be able to "..know which is the Globe and which the Cube" by sight alone - without any touch-acquaintance at the time of the test. Of the three tests given the children, only the third test approaches Molyneaux's sense modality question and that's where the childrens' performance plummeted. The article didn't say whether or not, during the third test, the children were able to touch-and-see the shape or just touch the shape before it was removed from them and they were required to use sight alone. ("After feeling a shape [feeling only?], the children did only slightly better than chance at identifying it by sight alone.") Does anyone know?
