[#82168] Re: Excuse me but we are talking

The claim being made at the web site is certainly pseudoscience, since a claim is being made that is unsubstantiated.  However, the article is encouraging studies which would likely end up refuting the claims, and if there is something there, then at least put it on a scientific footing.

Like some of the other posters, you're overlooking the reality that in the absence of scientific information, there are more than enough people and websites that are quite happy to advance whatever pseudoscientific agenda they like.  The choice is to simply let them go on, or to bring science into it and potentially provide real data.

As I mentioned before, I personally suspect that there is probably something there, but it is as variable and unreliable as "lie detection".  However, in the same vein, if science doesn't get in front of this, you can bank on the fact that someone will advance this idea as being reliable, and then don't be shocked when the politicians climb on board and begin legislating for it.  Once that occurs, science will never be able to provide enough data to convince those that have already convinced themselves.
