I was annoyed by the phrasing of the submission, which could have been "The way the brain thinks is counter-intuitive" (don't assume I don't know what you are going to tell, or, conversely, that I spent even one second thinking about how the brain thinks), but we probably would not have had the pleasure to read your comment with this title.


I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by the "it doesn't work the way _you_ think" phraseology. How dare they assume how I think? :)

Its a pet peeve, I guess.


The title of this post somewhat reminds me of a jira task title


You are speaking about the editorialized title "Mental Phenomena Don’t Map Into the Brain as Expected", right? Well, yes, I would have titled a bug report exactly this way now that you say it.

For reference, the original title is "The Brain Doesn’t Think the Way You Think It Does", this is the one I reacted to.
