Ah, but here is the really tricky part:
I am running said experiment (hypothetically) and I want to ensure that
I am free of influence, so I make sure that I am fully aware the
pheresis procedure is a cover for a nanite detecting mission, and submit
MYSELF for pheresis. Since I know its to detect nanites, then any
nanites inside me will also know this, and will evacuate my body
temporarily, long enough to get real results and broadcast them to the
world.
