Did anyone else read this and come away wondering if it was actual science or not? I may be getting the gist completely wrong, but they had some people read Dickens and some read articles from the Smithsonian, and the former group was able to read emotion in actors' eyes more accurately, and that ... means something? The later the hour the more bitter I am, but still.
