My point was that they didn't see it because they weren't really out of their body, not because they were in the wrong spot, as the comment I was questioning seems to assume.

Perhaps not all rooms were equiped with the markings and the person in question was in an unmarked room.

I experienced an OBE when I was very yougn, of flying around my bedroom and looking down on everything in the room. That was a very interesting experience and the clarity of what I viewed left a lasting memory in me.

"My point was that they didn't see it because they weren't really out of their body"

I completely agree with your point. I think there are wierd experiences that people sometimes have that seem to them as if they are outside of their bodies, but those experiences arise from disturbances of their nervous systems. Still, it's good scientific method to use symbols painted in odd places to test whether they really might be genuinely observing reality from an out of body position. If (as I expect) no one will ever report the symbols (unless they are cheaters who found out about them by ordinary means), that would count as evidence against there really being OBE's.
