A face is not a readout.
Run an experiment
The Experiments A face appears — but a face alone can’t tell you the feeling. Reveal the body, the voice, and what just happened, then read the whole scene. See the SAME face mean two opposite things. The Clue Ladder The cues scientists rank from weakest to strongest — the face, the body, the voice, what happened — and the best clue of all, the one at the top: just ask.
