“Just because someone can demonstrate extraordinary skills or senses (or even knowledge) does not imply that their own description of their ability or the ideological framework in which they present it is true or correct.

Let us take, for example, someone whose apparently telepathic skills are explained by them in an absurd fashion. Such a person’s bizarre explanation of how or why their skill functions does not invalidate the results of its application. Explanations of the function or nature of skills require the same standards of validation as results do, and they require this separately from the results they produce.”
