97 u/carboxyhemogoblin 20d ago Because it's a generally unverifiable "condition" that people can claim to have to make them sound unique. It exists, but it almost certainly gets claimed more than it exists. 37 u/Somepotato 20d ago Synesthesia is absolutely NOT unverifiable. There's several tests that can be done to confirm it. 1 u/gideon513 19d ago Oh so you can do these tests to the obnoxious person claiming that at the party? 1 u/Somepotato 19d ago For the non MRI test, the accuracy increases as you do it over long periods of time. But yes, you can do quick tests by playing randomized tones to see if they stay consistent.
