It could also be that the plant was preparing to disperse it's energies when faced with it's demise,
But I still wouldn't rule out the scientist's mind altering the machinery unknowingly.
Another theory is that your own intelligence can be poured into anything your heart allows it to be poured into.

I'm sorry if that was taken in a personal way on this thread, it was meant as a general "mankind" moment, with scientists only recently even being interested in studying these things. As an example, for years science has taken the viewpoint animals don't feel emotions or show altruism, but simply run on instincts like machines. This certainly isn't scientific to presume anything without tons of research, but rather, was an agenda. Science isn't a credo. It asks questions and researches to find answers. This wasn't meant to insult anyone and I'm sorry if it was misunderstood.

My guess is that, as St Udio was saying, a person's aura/energy field can and does effect plant life, and if you come at a plant with threatening intentions, you're pouring your "intelligence/aura/energy" into that plant. That being the case, if you feel, say, guilty, in front of your plants and garden because you think they feel pain or dread their demise, then you can actually cause their lack of growth or inability to thrive because of your negative emotions.
