And if they tell you a mental state exists (Zen, Level-3, whatever) and
others confirm it, even if you can't, is that a good test as well? I
can't confirm or deny cold-fusion--I lack the skills for it. So I look to
see what others *with* the skills make of that claim.

Do you do the same thing with Level-3, et al. Or do you refuse to
recognize that there may be some things you lack the skills to confirm or
deny yourself, Tad? (Or those skills may simply be rusty or in need of an
upgrade)
