Note that one person's "aesthetically pleasing" is another person's
"Turn off that crap!"  Given this wildly unpredictable response to a stimulus,
I think it's going to be difficult to prove anything here, although it
certainly is an interesting question, and probably an important one.
Thanks for bringing it up!
