So, Noobster, did I at any point say that scientific evidence would be involved in this exposing. No, it’s more about personal experience, and simply put, experience is the best teacher. Through experience, I have learned that these and many more superstitions are groundless. That’s really all there is to it, and frankly that’s all there has to be. Scientific evidence is nothing more than dressing up the obvious, cluttering up that which is easily seen. For the more complex stuff we need such scientific evidence, but for exposing obviously fallacious superstitions for what they actually are, experiential deductive reasoning is all that’s necessary. So, yes, it is exposing utilizing just such experiential deductive reasoning without the clutter of elaborate scientific evidence. Science is a good thing, even a wondrous thing, but it is not the end all and be all of everything. If it were, then we would be no more than living breathing computers, but I think there’s something more to us than that. We have a logical side, and we have an intuitive side. We must use both of these sides of who we are, in order to be fully human. For more insight into these sides, see “The Dual Mind: Logic and Intuition”, found at: http://socyberty.com/psychology/the-dual-mind-logic-and-intuition/

this is hardly exposing superstitions is it? there is barely any scientific evidence that disproves these superstitions

Bill,
This is a wonderful mythbusters article. I totally agree, although I do “knock on wood” sometimes, just out of pure habit.
