It's not that they're any smaller it's just that 13% of brain capacity is now consumed with pin numbers.

TV and now the internet.

Our robot overlords are doing most of our thinking for us.

I wonder if the researchers would be puzzled if their brains were 13% larger?

Well, as I read it, the researchers are having to research with the 13% smaller brain, so I can see why they are puzzled. Why did they not do this research when their collective brain size was at the original size?

Has anybody made a decision at to what size brain is officially labeled as a pin head?

Its easy:
