Science Indicates Why Bad Cowboys Lose Duels

[IamQ]

Well, this was better than expected. I thought they would just come up with something obvius like "Because most writers for movies enjoys having the good cowboy win."

I hope no tax payer money was spent in this research... Did you know that 63% of scientific studys are useless?

OT: all joking aside, Pretty intersting read.

 

[Sevre]

So, basically science just proved that good always prevails?

...
Cool

What if the good guy has no arms?

Variables people variables.

Yeah, I'm with you man. Like, what has science ever done for us?

Easy.

 

[Uber Evil]

So, if I'm a good cowboy, I can always beat the bad guy? This has been proven by Science?

Yee-haw!

If you didn't start the conflict it is likely.

I was talking about those studys that are like "the most dangourse room in you house is the bathroom" or somethinng to that extent.. Well duh with all the water and electronics everwhere. We knew that why did we need a study for it? Or example this one, we did we need to tell us that the good guy always wins?

 

[Disembodied_Dave]

fascinating.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I wish I could be a scientist. I'm pretty sure all labs are just one big playground for nerds.

That's the authors spin on it. What they are telling us is that they have found evidence that could point to the fact that an unconscious reaction is faster than a conscious action, even if it is performing the exact same motions.

Is this significant in itself? Perhaps not. But with further studies it could give us new insight into how our nerve systems and brains work. And if it one day can be applied to medicine or neurosurgery that can save lives or cure diseases of the nervous system and brain, I would say it is very much important research.

"Now, we know one reason why this may occur. Either that, or I just suck at Halo."
How about lag and/or host advantage?

I've love to go back in the times of cowboys and hear the loser of the duel scream "You hosting, lagging bastard!"


OT: That's pretty interesting, and I see how it would work. Although, Call of Juarez was full of crap on the matter of duels...

Excuse me while I go and dispense some justice.

Especially if he's only armed with a sword................

OT: Yeah that makes sense, interesting find. Now let's go shoot some baddies

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

I know that when I play Halo, I'll often surprise someone only to get embarrassingly owned despite beginning to empty my clip first.

That happens to me often. I get the jump on someone, unload half my clip into the back of their head and they turn around and pop me one in the face without breaking a sweat. Grrr!

Thank you science.

 

[FinalGamer]

So....basically the reaction is quicker against someone's action?

 

[Evilbunny]

Huh, I guess they got tired of that whole cancer thing.

 

[sidereal_day]

Huh, I guess they got tired of that whole cancer thing.

Yeah, studying cancer is probably boring and sad. Cowboys, on the other hand, are awesome and full of win.

 

[Optional Opinion]

So if you're a bad cowboy just don't shoot first?

Yeah, studying cancer is probably boring and sad. Cowboys, on the other hand, are awesome and full of win.

Cancerous cowboys are even better.

Hrm, I read about this in the New Scientist magazine, and while they said that the reaction times of the responders were quicker, the delay between the brain realising that the competitor had moved and the person actually moving negated the effects of the quicker reaction.
