"Stolen"? Seriously? I suppose the next article I can expect to read is "Why Your Ability To Read Is Just An Illusion".

(I dislike the titles that invoke the "The Thing You Suppose Does X Actually Does Y" like that's a bad thing. The badness is in the supposition, not the deviation from the supposition. What the brain is "supposed" to do is a human construction, not universal truth.)
