    I dunno, Marty, this just sounds like another rationalization of
    the persistent and universal failure of ESP hacks to perform in
    the laboratory enviornment.  I mean, the reason quarks don't appear
    in physics labs is 'cause they don't "need" to...and Tinkerbelle is
    still alive since we all believe in fairies...

    Personally, I find the most reasonable and convincing  explanation of
    psi's failures to be the simplest one:   the whole parapsychology
    schtick is a load of unicorn manure.  But, hey, what do I know...
    I can't even bend a spoon with a Vise-Grip.
