All of those people that I mentioned thought the evidence was there. They all changed their minds after studying it. She decided the children were just disturbed - he decided that the human brain couldn't generate the energy - Jung did ... Well .. I read him and I'm not sure what he did with it. He didn't believe it at the end but he still did that thing that makes it sound kooky even though he's saying it's been debunked. At any rate that's proper scientific method. Scientific method isn't about deciding it's quackery before you subject it to testing.
