Maybe most people would, because most people, sadly, don't know their arse
from their elbow. But most rational and scientifically informed people
would describe this claim as delusional (or playful).

But we needn't argue about this. Just make it so. Here's a challenge that I
usually offer to self-proclaimed psychics and precognitive `remote
viewers': cool, win Lotto next week, using your mojo. Never happens. Funny,
that.
