Good grief. Now I know what I'm dealing with. There was no "overwhelming" evidence for telepathy "at that time."

*grin* Some people certainly thought there was enough evidence. The Governments of USA, USSR, UK, Germany all spent money and time trying to experiment and learn about it. Carl Jung applied his mind to examining it. It was still respected as a serious avenue of research at that time. Evidence unrefuted was taken as good evidence. Almost 60 years later ... not so much. Of course he would have thought a computer capabale of it if a human being was. He would have thought there was a physical construct in our brains responsble for it - and such could be adapted or recreated for use outside the human brain.

Some people certainly thought there was enough evidence.

Turing didn't say that there was "enough" to consider the possibility. He declared that the "statistical evidence, at least for telepathy, is overwhelming." And you keep dancing around his words.

Psychokinesis, ESP, telepathy...

The "science" of Turing.
