I was thinking to do a revised version of the bomb testing experiment.
Elitzur—Vaidman bomb tester - Wikipedia
So now what I will do is to set up the circuit in my brain, and substitute testing the bomb with drawing a card. To start I get 2 cards one black, one red, shuffle them so I don't know which one is on top.
First I make a prediction which card is on top, red or black. Then in my head at point A I decide to draw the card or not. Extended form that choice I try to choose between C and D, having previously made a determination to stop if the card drawn is the same as the card predicted.
There are many difficulties with this:
- choosing to draw the card or not, while one is inclined to draw the card
- making the upper and lower path equivalent so that trying to choose between C and D is at a point of interference
- automating the determination to stop if the card is the same and letting pass through if the card is unequal
This circuit needs to be extended to get prox 100 percent certainty, in the way referenced in the paper.
So let's all try this experiment and see who get's the best result, and that will probably be the person who has the tidiest mind!

Maybe there is some error in it, that's up for discussion, investigation. I can't even say for sure if you're right or wrong about it. Remember the other reference is seaching a database with a quantum computer, brains are quantumcomputers, and a deck of cards is a database of sorts, and it is about choosing, so the ingredients are correct.

I retract the topic. This doubting about common knowledge of freedom, choosing, you all engage in, that the majority of scientists engage in, as you can read on the wikipedia philosophy page about free will for instance, is just plain evil. Unconsciounable intellectual violence sure to hurt many common people dealing with identity issues. I am throwing pearls to swine.
