Hogan is a classic example of the vast discrepancy between the strength of people's belief in "psi" and the objective evidence to support it.
This is a fair point - but you have to consider that there may be an answer. Ψ seems to be most powerful when it is associated with emotion - which your book presumably isn't. BTW, did he attempt and fail, or tell you that he could not for some reason?

Anyway, my point is not to promote the idea of psychic detection or dowsing - which I know very little about - but to make the point that Ψ needs a TECHNOLOGY. Really we only believe in science because it results in technology - the whole subject would have been impossibly arcane if it didn't do something!
