This is a Timing question: Timing vs Decision is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Timing, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Comparison Pain / Waiting After Selection, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward He Chose Her / Exit Comparison Loop.
The reader is trying to interpret waiting after selection as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
