Brain Typing? Anybody can drop some knowledge about this?

Anybody know anything about the veracity of this?

Brain Types

Sounds awfully fishy to me, but I'm not exactly a brain scientist.

Lots of testimonials, big friggin' whoop, most of them are pro athletes and sports execs, but the one from Dr. Bob Arnot, from NBC, makes me a little less skeptical (yeah, I know, appeal to authority).

It smacks of simple-solution-to-very-complex-issue type stuff. But, again, I have nowhere near the background (or intelligence) to evaluate.

Bah. It's just another "personality sorter".

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Holy smoke!

Did a little poking around their own website and found this:

Brain Typing Q&A

A longish diatribe, dismissing anyone who questions BT, rife with appeals to popularity and flat misdirection.

Also, a spooky little bit about "keeping a list" of critics for later use...

Oh, and a bunch of stuff on Intelligent Design.

This is just a classic example:

Ask yourself this question, do you ever meet someone and get a fairly quick “read” on him/her in some fashion? Perhaps you sense he’s nice since he doesn’t speak judgmentally of others and that he also has a relaxed smile—which he does a lot, or, perhaps you notice another person’s wandering and sneaky eyes, and his conversation seems highly evasive and disingenuous. This person you do not trust. Now, can you prove this scientifically? Obviously not, but you KNOW it’s true.

Ya, the shifty eyed ones, you have to keep a lookout for them.

Anyway, let's disband the courts, since we KNOW these things without need for proof. Just hang all the shifty eyed crooks.

Ah, another case of a misunderstood thread title. I thought this one would be about a wireless mode for typing on the computer by just using your thoughts. After all, we know there are plenty of people who type without using their brains!

[SIZE=-2]Actually, I have a pretty good idea of how to do it already using a currently free program, with a few tweaks. I just have to learn Linux I guess.)[/SIZE]

I wonder what the author would say about psychopaths. Seem right on the outside, but are totally alien on the inside. Very dangerous and completely able to fool almost anyone when they're in stealth mode.
