I'm afraid I can't cite literature without doing more research than I care to
bother with, but I didn't exactly pick the story up on the street corner. I
first heard it a number of years ago in a psych class at USC from a guest
lecturer who was one of the scientists who conducted the original experiment. He
had photos of the experiment, and a pair of the original goggles used in it.
I've seen the photos reproduced in other articles on the experiment since. If it
is "pseudo-science folklore," it's the most complex scientific hoax since the
Piltdown man.
