Isn't this the mantra of the dowser? The skeptics do not need to "believe", we just look at the results of the double-blind tests, and it is clear that dowsing is only as accurate as guessing.

There you go again ... repeating the mantra.

This is why skeptics frequent the Remote Sensing Forum ... it's a laugh a minute.

Like Dell, it is obvious that you also never bothered to watch "The Enemies of Reason". Some of the dowsers in the documentary had as much as 40 years experience (and the old guy in the background looked like he had about 80 years) but none of them could pass the double-blind test. Their results were the same as just guessing.

And do you know why? Because it's all in the mind.

You can feel this energy when you walk through a signal line from a frequency generator depending on the atmospheric conditions. I discovered it myself that air pressure has an effect on negative ions which makes for good locating conditions. Then I read the same thing and that ions facilitate the energy to travel through the air.
Theseus used the term "technically challenged", and frequently we have described this stuff as "pseudoscience", but in this particular case I think a better term is "codswallop". If you don't know what that means, then google it.

This is totally unacceptable.
This is an even bigger load of codswallop.

No difference. The results are exactly the same as before.
