For example, in normal parlance, a lean fit person might be said to have more energy than a seriously obese individual - but in strict scientific terms the reverse is true!
But the energy mongers do mean something tangible when they use the word. They are futzing with my qi. They are realigning my chakras. They are waving their hands over my meridians. They are detecting my aura.

I'm certainly willing to grant that they are not talking about one of the four fundamental forces. But they are talking about something tangible. Where the hell is it?
