The fatal flaw, IMHO, lies in the unmentioned assumption that psychology is ultimately a subset of physics. Physics maintains this proposition by generally requiring physical standards of proof for any assertion about non-physical phenomena, a circular way of reasoning. This is partly compounded by those who confuse physics-centric protocols with scientific method, a much larger set. It is understandable, of course, that this has come about especially considering how many bad ideas we have outgrown using rigorous physics-centric testing. As I have said several times in these discussions it is a baby and bathwater proposition requiring a keen sense of discrimination.
