Jim: "You haven't "proved" the existence of the unconscious, you've simply demonstrated that you can use the concept of "the unconscious mind" to explain your data." I'm not why you've got quotations marks around the word 'proved' as it didn't appear in my post. Let's just say the evidence we gathered provides as convincing a case for unconscious linguistic analysis, as say, the L.A. prosecutors' evidence that O.J. Simpson hacked apart Nicole and that other fellow. -Sean
