Picking up a certain bag might predispose a dog to exhibit the appropriate behaviour at a specific time. This is remarkable in itself, but many will feel it's not as remarkable as telepathy. But if the owner comes home at a random time, this disposition for the dog to get up and go to the door (or whatever it does) at a specific time, will not correlate with when the owner returns home any more than any other time surely? |
That is a good point, and something that was left a bit vague in the discussion. My feeling was that Clive Wynne and Alex seemed to be talking at something of a tangent a lot of the time! Anyway, hopefully something productive will come out of their collaboration.
