A frequent problem with social science experiments, like the taxicab in this one is that the experimenter asks people to do things that are far beyond their competance; in the taxicab experiment, the conclusion drawn by the professors requires the subjects to have an unusual amount of mathematical skill;
I think this experiment illustrates the poor lab skills of professors, not anything usefull about people in general
