No, no, no.... I've acknowledged that some people use things they think
produce effects that they don't. Some people do things like put in single
frames of images in the mistaken idea that such brief exposures lead to
behavioral changes.
There is precious little evidence that anything happens at all.
Lots of people pray, too. I would still insist no lightning bolt has
resulted from it....
