>>One thing I would like to see is a response from one or more of the people at Carnegie Mellon, giving their response to the criticisms of their experimental design. Has anyone seen those posted anywhere?<<

I haven't seen any, but then I haven't actively searched it out. If they haven't already replied, I'm sure they will. IMHO, this issue is complex enough that people will be debating it intensely for quite a while... until everyone gets used to the idea of the internet, then it won't be such a big deal. The "newbie" effect applies to our whole society as it does to individuals.

You don't hear people ranting and raving about "video games" anymore, do you?
