What Would Need to Be True
For this collision to be definitively resolved:
1. Empirical validation of whether Janov's endorphin-gating mechanism actually prevents cognitive access, or whether cognitive leakage occurs despite physiological gating
2. Neuroimaging studies comparing cognitive suppression (Wegner paradigm) with physiological suppression (gating) to show whether they activate different neural systems
3. Clinical observation of whether people with strong physiological gating (successfully suppressed primal pain) show Wegner-type ironic accessibility effects at the cognitive level
4. Theoretical integration specifying the conditions under which each suppression mechanism operates
