Reminds me of when a small local gallery had an open house for artists and I took some of my work. The curator's impression of "The Seductress' Spell" (1 (http://cerulean.st/tower/sspell1.gif), 2 (http://cerulean.st/tower/sspell2.gif)) was "he's tempting her"... because he's the serpent. Never mind that she's obviously in the position of power and he looks pretty surprised to be a serpent. People will identify their own preconceived symbols far before they can be persuaded to read facial expressions or body language.

I think this has something to do with why police under pressure will gun down a black man minding his own business because "he appeared to be reaching for a weapon."
