3. What it rests on
-
In 1951 Princeton and Dartmouth played a rough football game. Shown the same film afterward, each college's students saw the other team commit more and worse fouls; Princeton viewers counted about twice as many Dartmouth infractions as Dartmouth viewers did. In effect, the researchers concluded, the two sides watched different games [SRC-859]: the rival's fouls were dirty before they were weighed (M4).
