To distill the content of this article to one sentence (so you don't have
to click on the broken link to read the old news dressed up in new
pseudoscience):

"In [...] one-twentieth of a second [...] people make aesthetic judgments
[...]"

That's about one frame of television.  Ever catch a meme about subliminal
messaging being slipped into your movies, like roofies?  Same idea.

People cannot REACT in one twentieth of a second -- this is why drag race
"Christmas trees" have yellow lights, to allow anticipation.  The RESULT
is what I care about (does the user reach for the back button?), and
that's not what's being measured here...
