On the bottom half of that page, a related effect,
the "Tritone Paradox" is described. But the results
they report strike me as very odd. Anybody else?

Carl,

Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet - please do reveal what you see
here.

Thanks,

I've followed the Tritone Paradox research since it was in its early
stages and, though certainly it deserves to be called a "paradox", I
never had any doubts as to the integrity of the researchers or their
interpretation of the data. What is it that bothers you about it?
