Hoax
[edit]It may just be me but I think this article is a hoax or possibly a personal theory. 78.25.219.244 (talk) 07:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- No I don't think it's just you, I think it is questionable at best and b****** at worst. If it is fact it needs rewriting so that at least half the population can understand it. Richard Avery (talk) 19:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Good luck with that: "According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have literacy below the 6th-grade level." [1]Lewis Goudy (talk) 11:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- This is emphatically not a hoax. I agree that the article as it stands is incomprehensible, but the "tau" theory of motor control has been examined in at least a couple of dozen reputable scientific studies, including this Nature communication; and Dave Lee has published together with some of the most reputable people in the field of motor control, such as Apostolos Georgopoulos.

It would help if the article were anchored to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Tau_effect since that is plainly what is being generalized.
The progenitor of the Tau effect https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Cutaneous_rabbit_illusion would likewise add context.
Finally, what motivates the generalization is the reconciliation of the *apparently* different notions of time addressed in https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Elapsed_real_time
I will leave those edits to someone who concurs--after all, I might be bullshitting y'all.Lewis Goudy (talk) 11:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Significance
[edit]It would have been nice if the article described what does this theory explain or predict. Otherwise, the article is virtually useless. GregorB (talk) 12:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
