Uri,

as you know in special women often have a sense for the supernatural, this is
why we are calling them witches from time to time. They offer you informations
about your destiny. Of course they offer informations. But would you say that
therefore their informations are significant? I fear you are confusing the
quality of informations with the wish of all of us to know something about these
fields where we can't get significant informations. We know what a clairvoyant
witch is doing but we think CC testers have something better in their sleeves
and this is wrong.

There is only the significance of data or the nothing. Now you can claim that
you would already be satisfied with a portion of nothing. And that this is
better than nothing. But I fear that you have already become a follower of
withcraft without knowing it.
