To be fair, it does lend itself to study, and governments and scientists have studied it (which is how we know it's made up.)

Unfortunately, the existence of such studies alone will convince conspiracy theorists that the CIA has psychic spies and remote viewers everywhere.

It's kind of ironic how quantum physics discoveries have given these proponents new language to cloak their claims in. When you have quantum effects that depend on observation, it can be quite convincing to a lay person that an ESP ability could just as easily do the same.

I have given up on the idea that science or scientific discoveries will ever soundly banish the ideas of non-materialist claims.
