> Any eye is terrifying to a criminal

I find this to be an interesting comment because there is supposedly an effect where simply an image of an eye being present tends to cause people to behave better.

So, I guess the test would be to retrofit all dark collaboration corners of trading firms with pictures of eyes and see what impact that has on the detection of crime.



Yah, let's try some new art in the bathrooms of Wall Street and see if that fixes anything.

edit: makes about as much sense as the idea that a rock star is gonna solve shit.
