A peer-reviewed study conducted at the Carter Stanley Institute for Chromatic Studies showed that participants with red-green colorblindness were 84% less likely to be able to discern the usefulness of a rocking chair.
"This answers one of the long-standing open questions in visual and sensory science," said Dr. Scruggs, one of the principal authors of the study. "We've known for years that there are some rocking chairs for which you got no use, but this is the first time we've run the data in the other direction, looking at how we predict which people got no use for them."
The study involved 94 participants - mostly men, to control for the rarity of red-green colorblindness in women - and controlled for factors like age, occupation, and corn squeezings. Participants were asked a battery of questions, including whether they had a sugar baby now, whether they had made cradle-rocking plans for after they're gone, and about the rocking chairs themselves.
"One of the most surprising findings here is that they actually didn't find the same result with the apple juice that they found with the rocking chairs," said one of the peer reviewers, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "There's no question that this is a landmark study, but I want to caution against taking it as settled science until we see it replicated; the possibility remains that that some old rounder came along and introduced an unseen confounding variable."
