Wow.
There's a tremendous Web page that examines this statement in detail, with
several enlightening demonstrations. It's from Dr. Matt Davis, a researcher
at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cmabridge Uinervtisy... oh, you
know what I mean.
Well worth a few minutes. http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/~matt.davis/Cmabrigde/
