Well, your comments are both much more reasonable and deserve much more confidence than the article. But no, not your comments, not the article, and not the quoted neurologist even assuming the article's author understood him correctly (what would be an exception) are enough.

That kind of claim requires a clear and reproducible effect, and confirmation of many people that they looked and found the it. That's the kind of claim that if I did an experiment and got the result myself, I wouldn't still trust it.

I understand your position better now. Thank you.

The quote I made certainly goes against my intuition. But I’ve not studied the issue and don’t know enough about it to trust my intuition. Apparently though there are people who have studied this at the level of an expert and they believe it. At the very least this indicates that possibly my intuition is wrong and that I shouldn’t be so ready to discount the article.
