   Yeah, well I play a mean CD...

   Yeah, sure. What's the specific factor(s) that requires 
time to get "just right"?

   Purest bull****. Have you read Hieronymus' patent? It's 
extremely clear; no "training", no cl*****, no guru 
required. It simply didn't work as described. The seed 
experiment shows _something_ strange happening, but his 
extrapolation off into eloptic-land is simply not right.

   You want something interesting in _real_ cutting-edge 
neuroscience? Try Flanagan's Neurophone.

   I'm not laughing about anything. Radionics is a huge 
disappointment not helped by the large pro****tion of con 
artists in the field. If it's objectively real, describing 
the technique so that anyone can develop the skill should be 
straightforward. If it's a matter of individual 
biologically-influenced "talent", it should be equally 
easily demonstrable what the relevant physical attribute(s) 
is/are.

   Dump the silly-assed mysticism and superior attitude; do 
some science.
