[Heartlogic-dev] jim's feedback - "marvin believes" <italics>

[William L. Jarrold]

Joshua,

I have just put this on the following Wiki page:

http://wiki.nirmalvihar.info/index.cgi?HowToPresentItems

Can you execute the ToDo below?

Another thing that the 2005-06-01 pilot participant said was
that when presenting items like...

Marvin the robot believes

Spouses do not love each other.

Rate the believability of the statement.

...it is ambiguous whether we want the participant to rate (a) how
believable it is that some robot named Marvin believes that XOR (b)
how believable that plain old assertion is.  We want (b).  To increase
the likelihood of (b) ToDo (2005-06-05) Joshua can you make it put a
colon after "believes" and then put the actual assertion in
italics...E.g. like so...

Marvin the robot believes:

[indent-if-possible] <i>Spouses do not love each other.</i>

Rate the believability of the statement.

...We should ask our pilot users how clear it is that we want (b) and
whether or not (a) even crossed their minds.
