According to the Boeing-ites, there "exists a weak but significant correlation" between the experiment’s "statistical processes" (that would be the generation of random numbers, "connected to four lamps and four corresponding pushbuttons") and "the experimenter who initiates the processes" ("the human subjects, asked to press the buttons… with the objective in mind of obtaining a high number of coincidences").

Just imagine, me grinding my teeth and clenching my fist, a la Akiro.
It isn't so much me bending causality around my will, but chance going on vacation.
