I always liked the theory that belief was such a major factor in
*controllable* ESP phenomena that the strong atmosphere of doubt
that pervades a lab setting renders it inoperative.

The reason I like it so much is that it makes ESP as impossible to
verify scientifically as creationism. (OOPS I think this belongs
in net.origins, or at least the second half of the second paragraph
does.  Now lets see....)
