“Neither image elicits a cat-like response” is a special case of both pictures being equally cat-like, and still gives you the 50/50 prior. And “not really, sure, kinda” is not a possible response to “which of these two copies of a vase picture looks more cat-like?”.

I agree we have a long road ahead of us, but you clearly do not understand the design of this experiment.

The design of the experiment is clear, it's the value that's circumspect. I suspect neither you nor the researchers have a firm grasp of survey methodology or statistics.

All this experiment measures is the impact of a priming effect.
