Thanks. This isn't the first time I've made a thoughtful reply to a "science isn't important" comment. The last time, my comment didn't get as many upvotes as its parent, so I'm not too surprised that my comment wasn't received well this time, either.
To you, "it's unproven" is not a valid reason for rejecting this book. But it is a valid reason for many other people, especially since it takes a great deal of commitment to use this (unproven) tool.
Full disclosure, I just bought the book :) Would still really like to see it proven effective by science, but am not putting the burden of proof on anyone in particular (original author is dead) nor holding my breath.
- akkartik 16y ago"Would still really like to see it proven effective by science.." Absolutely. Proven or disproven, or more likely a more nuanced picture will emerge of when repetition works. I think of science as this wavefront that lags the frontiers of what we work on. But it'll get here eventually.
