~We’re born scientists, although not necessarily with the scientific method as it stands currently, but scientists in a general sense.
I would say, not so much “is”/”is not” and “if/then” (although I really would like to use a programmer analogy as that’s how I tend to think myself)… but rather:
“What?”
“Oh!”
Accept/Reject.
And whatever relevant emotions that may follow.
Actually, it _could_ be turned into a program now that I think about it.
With habituation, it becomes:
“What?”
“Oh.”
As in… oh, you again.
