Okay, I've read this sentence so many times I'm no longer certain what to do with it. My supervisor was confused by it and at first suggested I'd left out a word, but once I explained it he said I might want to reword.

I'm talking about chemoreception and how a previous study did some bad science, skipping ahead to test the ability of cuttlefish to distinguish b/w two stimuli without first testing that they even have a sense of smell (distance chemoreception). I wrote:

"In this case, the researchers moved ahead to test the fine-tuning of an ability S. officinalis were not proven to possess."

This sentence makes perfect sense to me. However, it obviously confused my supervisor. What say ye, flist? I'm trying to think of a suitable rewording without repeating myself and making it sound stupid.
