Abstract:
In various experiments, scientists showed that the average IQ and mental acuity levels of human test subjects increased significantly after extended bouts of physical reflex stimulation (i.e. tickling). These gains remained constant throughout the duration of the study, a period of 18 months. Scientists believe that the rapid stimulation of neurons caused by repeated reflexive reactions is the cause of this increase.

FALSE. Cuddle fiat and therefore tickling decreases my ability to do work. And thus I learn less and I become less smart, over time.
