neq1, you have somehow managed to provoke the most informative set of comments I've seen on LW in awhile. Everyone's giving interesting details about their own research. Awesome! Upvoted just for that. (Though the post is fine, too.) And cheers to the commenters too - this is the way life should be like.

Tangentially related: Phil Goetz's Computer bugs and evolution (with further details in the comments).

Also, your link to Wikipedia's page on confirmation bias has a typo.
