The Cs pushed the letter m even when the letter w came up in a series of flashing m[s]; when they used a series of flashing w[s], Ls and Cs showed no signigicant difference in the errant m response.

7 subjects, 3Ls, 3Cs and one non-partisan; W[s] and M[s] the only two presses counted.

The correctness of the response was measured. However, distinguishing an M from a W is different from many other situations. “Liberals too quickly make changes based upon spurious input” might be the result if we looked at more complex issues. They are extrapolating ridiculously.
