Maybe because

1) If that's the comment you refer to, it also contains the claim "Misleading - it seems to be looking for contrast" which as far as I see isn't provably true?

2) in the end tweet of the experiment it's claimed: "I've created @cropping_bias to run the complete the experiment. Waiting for @Twitter to approve Dev credentials" and the https://twitter.com/cropping_bias is still empty at the moment?

Edit: personally, the interesting experiments for me are like "a person against a drawing" -- the simpler the competition is the bigger the chance to figure out what the "preference" could be:

(Luckily, I don't depend on Twitter, but I'd suggest that those who do should have the chance to do the "manual override.")
