For example, on the clue "Rembrandt's biblical scene 'Storm on the Sea of' this was stolen from a Boston museum in 1990", Watson correctly answered "Galilee". But its next two answers were "Gardner Museum" and "Art theft"; no one who "understood" the question in any conventional sense would even consider these as answers because they don't make any sense.

But I think your peek into Watson's inner mind may give you a more insight than you have about the human mind.

I'm reminded of a story about how a girl told me she was good at froggy when it came to basketball. I was like, "What's froggy" and she said "when you get the ball after someone shoots it". I said, "I think its called a rebound". And she said, "that's the word, rebound... but froggy and rebound, they remind me of each other"

And your narcolepsy v insomnia example is a mistake I think a lot of humans make. Like if you ask me which way to turn a lightbulb to remove it, my brain will have both clockwise and counter-clockwise as responses. And clockwise is probably 80%, but counter clockwise is probably at 20% -- I have been known to accidentally tighten a bolt, rather than loosen it.

I can't count the number of times my father, when using my name, starts out my brother's name and corrects himself midway through. I've done similar things with pairs of friends I met at the same time and know in only one domain.
