You do know I actually studied psychology, that humans evolved from 
animals with which we share a lot of our brain and that conditioning is 
well documented and has been for at least half a century?

I mentioned Pavlov's dogs because it's a classic experiment and about a 
hundred years old. A similar classic, that has often been used with 
humans is:

    A human subject or an animal is subjected to an air puff
    directed to the eye, which elicits a blink reflex. If the air
    puff is repeatedly preceded by another stimulus, say a tone, the
    tone will eventually itself elicit a blink just before the air
    puff.

But it's nice of you to inform us that you are beyond the restraints of 
basic human physiology and think that software should therefor not take 
such things into consideration -- I OTOH do!
