_Psychology Today_ is not exactly an authoritative source.  Their  articles
are  typically  about  5 years behind the state of the art and, as far as I
know, they aren't  refereed.  A  more  accurate  title  might  be  _Popular
Psychology_.  I'm not necesssarily criticizing the article Frank is citing,
but I'd want to see a lot of bibliography and coroborating evidence  before
I  took PT's word for anything.  It's very easy to crank out something like
this that _sounds_ plausible.  It also sounds plausible  that  a  10  pound
weight falls ten times as fast as a 1 pound weight.
