[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 560961, member: 38640"] Well, that's called confirmation bias in that you ignore or excuse information that doesn't support your suspicions. I had something a bit similar last year. I went to the university doctors because I noticed that one of my pupils was dilated more than the other. I was concerned because this could mean any number of issues from brain tumors to stroke etc. Anyway before I went I'd keep asking mates "Hey is one of my pupils dilated more than the other?". Most would concede that one was a tad larger than the other, but the ones who didn't notice anything I tended to ignore. Well, naturally one was going to be slightly larger than the other, because it's dependant on different sources of light - so if I was looking in a mirror and the window was on the left, my eye would be slightly less dilated.. First question the doctor asked me was - "have you smoked any canabis lately...". [/QUOTE]
