That's awesome, thank you!

Priming: In trying to explain myself, I think I've found I'm wrong: If the coin comes up heads and tells me to go through the blue door. I'll say to myself 'ok I'm going through the blue door.' in order to gauge my own reaction to that. I think sometimes I'll be biased to overlook problems with the blue door merely because that's the way I'm already mentally heading. On writing this out I see how it's different than priming.
