    Racism, maybe not although I suspect if you put racist phrases on your car (paint them on your car) then yes.

      accuracy has a very specific meaning in scientific experiments. There is no measurable accuracy to these experiments. We don't know the "correct result"
      You actually should be calling into question the validity and you would be right that these experiments are not internally valid. Of course it's hard for it to be set up in such a way as to make it valid in some cases. The dog and baby one the real problem is that the dog has more movement and more sound.
      Of course with an experiment like this what we really want to know is whether it has some degree of reliability. Would you get the same result on the other side of a state border?

    The Cadillac was a 91-93 Cadillac Sedan DeVille... it's NOT the Northstar... the 4.9L motor was probably one of the most reliable motors ever put into a fwd Cadillac... a shame, because they are so rock solid that they will probably be semi-collectible some day (for Radwood enthusiasts)
