I regret going all fortune cookie on you Mr. Gammon, really, but
sometimes a seeming lie is all that is allowed available to tell
the truth. The phenomena is real, effects - at least - high side
hundreds of credible persons world-wide, and is yet but another
ancillary failure of 'Science' to perform the role that it would
propound that it does, but does not: Investigate the outr=E9
passionately sans preconceived notion, not rejecting claims on
mere 'a priori' grounds altogether antecedent to _any_ inquiry,
but rather examined objectively and with care. You know...
really, the preceding, but with some diligence and courage and
_actuality_.

If a film featuring an actress who can make the point injects
the idea into the public consciousness a little deeper that
people very well may be having these experiences, that's fine
with me... even as it is not fine with you.

Debunkers having field days, better enjoy it while they can.
They are increasingly irrelevant, more demonstrably uninformed,
and don't seem to be able make the payoff regarding what they
set out to do - see my next article in UFO Magazine - make all
the non-scientism stuff go away, forgetting they make an
entirely non-criticized living doing just that. I don't mean
that in a good way.

You fret about people who can't distinguish reality from fantasy
when it's you who can't distinguish their own facile arrogance
believing you understand what reality really is. Moreover, fret
not the mote while the beam assails you. Science is bankrupt on
this issue, facilitates it's own failure, and betrays the public
trust to propound authoritatively on that which it does not look
at, at all.

More humility would be useful all around, to start.
