Message: [QUOTE="Irexes, post: 951178, member: 13873"] Not sure what you're getting at, surely any phenomena that's observable is measurable, whether by natives to an area or not? Is there another type, tautology surely? Hell of a sweeping statement. Science begins with a hypothesis and then seeks to prove it. If it can't be proved by the evidence then form a new hypothesis and start again. Science isn't supposed to be infallable it's an attempt to explain how the world works by a set of rules and new evidence is constantly being added to the debate. Don't agree with that. What you seem to be getting at is that we should believe in the power of the unprovable or in other words have faith. That's fair enough and believe in what you like, but the moon affecting poker is going to require a bit of evidence and as FP said, one man's loss is by definition anothers gain. [/QUOTE]
