I merely recounted one small part of my experience with Mary Rose. Sure one could set up experiments to check up on these things, particularly in respect of the charlatans out there - and I am sure there are many. This lady makes no "claims", she did not advertise, and people came to her purely through word of mouth.
This was entirely different to my expectations: you really had to be there. There was no script, it was quite matter of fact: she didn't ask me anything about anything. She actually volunteers things which come into her mind, using the cards as an aid.
And there was IMHO no "rational" way that she could have come up with what she did.
But then that's just my opinion. "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
