Haha, that's a fantastic point! And in order to get anywhere closer to making such differentiations, surface EEG S (used for the results into his article) would surely not suffice. The technology and results we are collecting currently are just scratching the surface, though I'd suspect if a BCI was capable of detecting intent of such complexity as the situation you described, it would also probably have the capacity to know whether it was something you planned to act on or not.
