How do you go from:

A subject is asked to think of any idea

TO

A subject is ask to think of the letter A, B or C.

and insist that is the only definition of any?

Considering I've said over 100 times it has to be meaningfully interesting, and only dropped "interesting" 
as a sequence of claim levels to make the claim legalese parsable due to your inane objections and avoiding 
the question of whether a paranormal claim has been made.

Here is where we are at:

SKEPTICS : WE PAY MILLIONS FOR PROOF OF PARANORMAL,
WE WILL DO ANYTHING WE CAN TO HELP,
JUST TELL US WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WE'LL WORK OUT A TEST TOGETHER

ADAM (SON OF GOD): OPEN THIS BOX AND IT PROVES I'M ADAM
*HANDS BOX TO SKEPTICS*

SKEPTICS: NO!  IT CANNOT BE FALSIFIED.
