Query:
Say you put a man on a plane, flew him around for hours or knocked him out A-Team style, so that he had no idea how long or how far he flew. Then have the plane land in Hamilton. And have 500 of your closest friends in Hamilton speak with a Scottish accent all day and drive on the left side of the road. Would the man assume he was in Glasgow? If you got dropped in the middle of Glasgow, with 500 hosers and a Tim Hortons on every corner, would you be able to tell the difference between Glasgow, Scotland and Hamilton, Ontario?
