Then asked them to explain why they chose that pair
Findings
They made up fake reasons for why they preferred them even though they were identical

If you ask someone to introspect about their thoughts, feelings and actions, they will often deliver false truths
Perhaps introspection is not the way we discover our self, as it would be very innacurate
