Interesting video, and I would agree as to its relevance, particularly in the specialty of psychoacoustics. It made me remember the words of a college professor, one time when I was telling him what a large amount of confusing data there was on some particular topic- "You can believe whatever you want to believe."

Some people believe that belief itself can (and does!) actually create reality. But that is only a belief. Of course, if you believe it, then it is true for you, because you made it so. If you don't believe it, then of course it is not true, but perhaps that is only because your belief made it not so. Or is it true, whether you believe it or not, or is it not true, whether you believe it or not? And if you believe the latter to be the case, then is that untruth true only because your belief made it so?
There is more, but it is already confusing, isn't it?
Isn't reality fun?!

You know, many a man realizes late in life that if when he was a boy he had known what he knows now, instead of being what he is he might be what he won't; but how few boys stop to think that if they knew what they don't know instead of being what they will be, they wouldn't be? These are awful thoughts.

Not true!
At least in my area. The two directions of traffic will cycle continuously until the button is pressed, which will prompt the pedestrian light.
