And this reply is even worse! What a meaningless jargon word salad! Just 
throw all those bogus terms around and everyone will think how "smart" 
you are. What have you really said? Nothing as far as I can see.

The story above exemplifies the problem of physics facing a topic on the 
"fringe". Difficult subjects are viewed as best studied by ignoring them 
and making fun of them and pretending they don't really exist. There is 
even a journal (The Journal of Irreproducible Results) created 
specifically to make fun of these topics and insure they are not taken 
seriously.

The point as you can see in the story above, has to do with 
reproducibility. Science and physics in particular has taken to 
demanding that all "facts" be reproducible on command. Sure it's great 
that Maxwells equations tested today will be the same as tested tomorrow 
and one can count on similar results each time. But is that all there is 
to life? Hardly.

Perhaps you've seen me here making this point with satire posts with a 
lampooning of Lightening I assert is a hoax because it's not 
reproducible at will. Hence just like psychic phenomena it must be 
simply a hoax and not exist!

Anyone who's seen REAL psychic phenomena in action (like the above 
story) knows that trying to explain the results by chance or probability 
or fraud or other skeptical arguments is simply scientific nonsense. 
Ignorance codified as an argument. The probabilities of results being 
"luck" are astronomically small. Faced with that, most "skeptics" simply 
withdraw into accusations of lies and hoaxes as if a real scientist were 
too dumb to know the difference. And then as icing on the cake there are 
personal attacks on the sanity of the witnesses to insure that nobody 
has the balls to press the issue further.

Obviously all this is the height of anti-science. All of which is made 
all them more interesting by the very fact that while traditional 
establishment "science" works hard to "debunk" such phenomena, the very 
people paying the establishment for their time (government) is also 
spending millions (probably much more) to actually investigate practical 
applications of the phenomena for spying and other purposes. (remote 
viewing) It's obviously all hypocrisy, with politics polluting real 
science.

So what is the answer? Well, I suggest some real scientists with actual 
interests in these phenomena could start by growing a set of balls.
