The article allows me to remain logically (as well as intuitively) confident
that my bet - that I have correctly (or not altogether wrongly or inEPTly)
concluded that the basal ganglia contains one of the most central and
important "actention module switching stations" (within a sufficiently
evolved/brainy neuromuscular animal's Actention Selection Serving System") -
is a safe one.
It also allow me to keep thinking that I have a philosophically finalized
Foremost Overview Of Truth that is well placed. %}
