Talk about recondite, M, I have no idea what you just posted. But that's okay, I'm sure you're correct.

Here's another dumb statistic

We absorb 90% (or 95% or whatever) of our sensory input with our eyes.

Now how can anybody know that?

There's the question of individual variation, of course. My husband will be bothered by smells that I can't even detect. I, on the other hand, will hear background music that other people never notice.

I bet that if somebody conducted a study, they would find that Mudcatters notice sounds much more than a representative sample of couch potatoes.
