Please continue thinking that it is innocuous, i'm a mentally troubled man but I do not want to bother your positive observer effect (this is science), pygmalion effect (this is psychology) based on the absence of damages, self-fulfilling prophecy (this is psychology and superstition), etc. I have not said anything.Ok, I'll fart on my dusty electronics from now on.
