I do admit bringing in parallels from left field.  In that spirit it strikes me as not dissimilar to most of the successful constitutional challenges against drug detection dogs: the handler's ability (or lack of it) to properly interpret the canine's signals and resulting decisions to detain/search.

QuoteThe researchers presented the score sheets of 191 double blind placebo-controlled food challenges for peanut performed in a Dutch academic hospital from 2008 to 2010 to three clinical experts in food allergy.
QuoteThe occurrence of subjective symptoms [including abdominal complaints and oral allergy symptoms] was associated with disagreement within observers, whereas disagreement was never present when respiratory symptoms occurred.
