Damn it all jfred. I couldn't help myself. I found myself shaking my head from side to side to test it out!! I suddenly realized what I was doing. Oh no I thought, jfred can make me shake my head. Like some Pavlovian pooch. At least I'm young enough that I didn't drool while doing it. So I tried nodding instead in defiance. But then realized that was just part of my conditioned response and might be mistaken for agreement. Anyway, nodding is more difficult than head shaking. So it is obvious that shaking would be chosen as the example. How predictable. Try it. Shake your head a couple of times then try nodding. Nodding is awkward don't you think. Hahahaahahaha!! Now everyone is shaking their heads and nodding. Probably laughing too, at their own helplessness in thrall at the wanton universe rattling their head around against their will. I bet you all stopped now!! At least my brain didn't rattle. Or it did so quietly. So I'll just continue to shake my head in disbelief.
