In other words, he maintains that human consciousness affects the molecular structure of water. Similar phenomena can be argued regarding "interviewer bias" where the race, gender, words, appearance, or other factors such as behavior of the interviewer may have an effect on the interviewee. Some wording effects may be understood in certain ways due to the experience or cultural background of the respondent, for instance, and he may misinterpret or misunderstand them.

The lesson of What the Bleep Do We Know! Can be expanded to prejudice as well as to research performed by social scientists in all aspects. We learn that we are susceptible to bias and that we warp reality with our thoughts. Consequently, the best we can do is control our studies by rigid scientific controls.
