Subject: RE: BS: Divination. Experience? Explanation?
The evidence is not "convincing" unless it derives from properly controlled repeatable experimentation, peer reviewed, and can stand up to rigorous statistical analysis to a high level of confidence. If you have such evidence, show us. As we know, even a physics guy with forty years at the chalkface can still think there's evidence that God exists. As the yanks say (with my favourite American expression which I'm seriously guilty of over-using), go figger.

And I tried it, remember, and it seemed to work for me, but that doesn't mean I've set aside the necessary rigours of the scientific process.
