Proviso for the Skeptics

Discussion of a paranormal phenomenon on this site does not mean:

1. I believe it exists outside of a 'folkloric' or 'sociological' reality
2. The phenomenon's cause is what many people think it is
3. That it is not explainable through scientific investigation - but we may need to expand our science to explain it

Like Marcello Truzzi, I think anomalistics are useful because it is through studying anomalies that real scientific progress occurs.
