I was reading a scientific report a while back on mice behavior. They got some mice (not sure if "twins" or not) and kept them in identical but isolated environments since birth. They found out that after a month the mice had different taste and behavioral preferences. From this they concluded that minute differences in environment has radical effects on behavior. That is to say they claimed small differences in how long the lab staff held the mice in hand to weigh them and the like caused the differences in their behavior. How DUMB! Apparently the idea that the mice could actually have different tastes and preferences is unacceptable because that would mean living creatures are more than bio-chemical automata...and of course being "scientists" they could never accept that! After all, it is not something they could measure.
