LOL, yes, that’s why it weights little. But, see, it still gets to considerably shift one’s expectations on the matter because it had a very low probability assigned to its happening, as per Conservation Of Expected Evidence. Let’s just say it counts as Rational Evidence, m’kay?
Not m’kay. IIRC, it was complete junk science—an unrecorded, unverified role playing game with no witnesses.
I figure people should update about as much as they would if they were watching a Derren Brown show.
Thank you, but I could have done that myself, I meant “explain, in your own words if possible, what aspects of who this person is are relevant to the discussion”. So, he’s a Real Life version of The Mentalist. That is very cool. Why shouldn’t people get extract useful knowledge from his shows?
Er. Hmmm… Look, I don’t want to sound rude, but could you elaborate on that? As it is, your post provides me with no information at all, except for the fact that you seem to think it’s a bad idea...
Well, if you are not familiar with Derren Brown, perhaps my original comment is not for you. Derren is a magician who specialises in mind control. He has some of the skills he claims to have—but to get that across on TV is often difficult—since it is not easy to reassure the audience that you are not using stooges who are in on the tricks.

Well, go right ahead—if you have not encountered this sort of thing before.

Oh! Right. Actually that’s a very apt comparison!
