Use with the complete critical Literature Note; Academy applications are proposals, not validated outcomes.
Sensitivity, recognition, liking and expertise are separate. Proposed Academy application: independent observations before discussion, multiple calibration examples and no universal supertaster ranking.
The chapter distinguishes receptor sensitivity and PROP responses from learned preferences, experience and context. A small saliva-related study illustrates variation without establishing a population distribution.
