I agree that the small standard deviation suggests that either that doesn’t happen or the people in question are much less prevalent than 10% of the population (a number I picked because I have ten fingers). I also suspect that the mechanism roystgnr identified is stronger than the mechanism I identified.
This study isn’t set up to differentiate between people, which is what we would need to make a warning policy.
(I had an erroneous statement about the sample size here, which I’ve deleted.)
Hmm. That looks like a memory error on my part, as rereading it I don’t see what I thought the n was (I remembered ~40). I think I saw 30 subjects, failed to multiply by 24, and it got fuzzed with the passing of time.

Small n? They used 819 subjects—that’s bigger than pretty much any psychology cited on LW!

Thanks for the correction!
