There is no implicit assumption there. There is an explicit acknowledgement that that could have been an effect, and reasons why I don’t think the effect was large.
I meant the assumption packed inside your “reasons why I don’t think the effect was large”, that unconscious memories would not have a large effect. In my experience, they very often do. Watching old episodes of DS9 (ones I don’t “remember”), I can almost always call out plot twists before my husband sees them. Am I just way better at spotting plot twists? Well, it’s possible, but I also watched the show a lot more when it was new.
But I still think this particular task would be solved quicker by one person, because most of the group’s time was spent communicating and debating and persuading and interfering with each other and asking who had what piece, and only a small amount of its time was spent actually moving pieces.
Yeah, you’re probably right. Anything that involves taking things in your hand and moving them around is just awful to do in a group. I can never watch someone trying to untie a knot without feeling like I could do it better, have you noticed this?
