You want a 200th rewording of the explanation?

When I said "think of any idea" it was in the context of asking volunteers
to think of any idea.  Not for a technical caveat where the skeptics instruct
everyone to think of a wavy line or the number 7.

The majority of people volunteering for a test or clicking on a
"MIND READING DEMO CLICK HERE" ad on Google will think of something
that is somewhat interesting to them, only a few percent will focus on a 
head or tail or the letter B or meaningless nonsense.

The web is a totally different crowd to usenet re:paranormal, when I get
a few hits to my sites or videos I get dozens of people saying the channeling
is spot on.

Why don't you test out www.MindReading.com with a question and 2 dummy
questions?  Pick 3 from your cosmology set.  Takes 2 minutes then we can
further the stalled discussion over false anti negative non claim etc.

Put it this way, if you are Peter are so certain I'm not Genesis Adam why
are you both avoiding doing a test?

All you have to do is think of a question.
