	It sounds as though this is more descriptive of the particular
phenomenon, and my theory is just a general factor which enters in, but
doesn'y drive the whole thing.  The dichotomy is probably the specific
cause of the observed phenomenon, whereas the "important info selection"
factor I dreamed up applies, but only in the background....

	Good call, Dr. Corruble...
