Need to add another caveat #37

At no point did I see a caveat that syntactic interference might still be in play. I have to add such a caveat somewhere.

Isn't the caveat in the general discussion enough?

Indeed, our own findings would need to be replicated, ideally by an independent research group, if we want to be sure that in the present design there is no evidence for syntactic interference. If such a replication attempt is carried out, it would also be useful to conduct an lab-based self-paced reading study to investigate our speculation earlier that the absence of syntactic interference in our online SPR study may have been due to participants adopting a good-enough processing strategy, leading to only semantic interference being detectable.}}\label{gendisccaveat2}
