Well he did say this:
"Slow-drying-ink"
"On this hypothesis, you actually decide to execute the Flick! exactly when
the RP in your brain shows up, without any delay, but you don't get to

good 300-plus milliseconds, the time it takes for you decision to cure before
entering the comparison chamber."
