Brugger and Taylor demonstrate, in their words: “(1) as human subjects’ guesses are highly nonrandom and (2) as no finite sequence of target alternatives is free of bias, above-chance matching of guesses to targets simply reflects the amount of sequential information common to both target and guess sequences.”
